TC is a rescued cat, he's around 10 years. He's been with me for 8 months now. He's a happy purrer and really seems to enjoy life. For a long time I've been unsure re his hearing. Sometimes he appears to respond to sound but mainly he doesn't. I've tried rattling keys at close proximity when he doesn't know I'm in the room but no response. His ears remain static and he appears to be oblivious to my presence. (I've asked the vet about this but was simply advised to see a (specialist) I stay with him when he goes out to play just in case that he can't here poss predators. With previous cats when I made visible arm gestures they would usually come to me, but TC rarely responds.
I've noticed that his scent of smell is accute, when calling him....no response, but bringing food home he'll awake and respond. Could it be that he's partially deaf? I think I'm right in saying that most cats are able to recognise their feeders by sight and their unique voices. With TC none of the above are forthcoming and I appear to be talking to him and beckoning him in vain.
All advice would be greatly appreciated.
