Awww...please watch over him VERY carefully. We had a gorgeous white cat who was also deaf. She managed brilliantly until she was about 2 year's old, and then got out one day and went under a parked car because it was raining. The driver got in, started up, and poor little Minno didn't hear the engine, so got run over. She managed to limp off, and we couldn't find her for five days. By a fluke, she was heard, miowing pitifully. She'd crawled into the wood shed, and was then too weak to come home. It was me who found her, with a broken jaw, broken leg and other injuries. The vet was called, and she amazingly lived, but I'll never forget her screams of agony. Oh dear. It's upset me just to tell you. Please watch yours like a hawk - x
