Aspirini

We have taken in a kitten, found dicing with death by the roadside. She is about 6-8 weeks old and profoundly deaf. As she is white and blue-eyed, we suspected she might be deaf which is why we picked her up in the first place. Feral kittens are normally very timid but she was friendly and approachable - not good traits in a kitty that needs to live by it's wits and avoid being attacked.
We couldn't leave her but, because of the layout of our house and the fact that our balconies are easily jumped, it will be hard for us to keep her safe once she starts following the others so she is up for adoption by someone needing a house cat, with safe environs.
We have never had a deaf cat before, but we have taught her 2 hand signals which she seems to understand and act on.She is really sweet. We still find ourselves tiptoeing around when she is asleep. We have to be careful not to startle her. Our floors and stairs are all marble so, unlike wooden floors, there are no vibrations to warn her of anyone's approach so it is not uncommon for her to suddenly leap screeching into the air. It is a learning curve for all of us.
Aspirini, is what the Greeks call all generic painkillers like Aspirin but it sounds pretty, and she is white and, unless she learns to lip-read, she will never know..... dancing cat
