RIP Smokey. I know how it feels when a cat dies. Cleo died when I was at Uni. Used to imagine seeing her in the corner of my eye walking into my flat.

Lo and behold, I go outside to check on what my two dogs are barking at and there's a tuxedo cat up one of my trees!! I got out the ladder and got him down, brought him in to get him warm (the tops of his ears have been frost bitten) and get him some food and water.
He's currently investigating the house and getting hissed at by all the other cats. Not sure if he's going to be staying or going to a friend's house or not, but so far my son has named him Flash because of the little bit of white fur on his right ear. No idea why that's significant, but that's the thinking of a 13 year old autistic boy...

Especially after doing a couple simple tests and discovering that he's deaf!!
Poor wee mite. The rest of the brood are just going to have to get over themselves and get along with him!!

Catching him while he's looking away and clapping my hands about 6 inches behind his head. My wife was looking at him at the time and he didn't even blink. Every other one of my cats will at least sag their ears, if not turn around to see what all the commotion is about.
He doesn't even perk up and look when you rattle the food dish, and yet if he's looking at you and you touch it, he's all over it like he's been starved for months. Various other things that lead me to honestly believe he's as deaf as a post.

"Eh?" was a very poor attempt at humour from Faysh.

Very poor. My mates do that to me all the time whenever I talk about my hearing.
