I sure hope Coco Puff (a.k.a. Raoul-it's like an undercover spy alias) is better soon. Bless his little meezer heart, of course he's scared. I'm saying a little prayer for him that this is just temporary and he'll be hearing and booping again really soon.
Hugs from Houston,
Dj, Brie and Scutter
Prays are being sent for Coco Puff. I sure hope he feels better soon.

Good to hear that Coco Puff is calmer. I certainly hope that means that his hearing is beginning to come back. Many healing wishes for Coco Puff!
I was just on the phone w/a client and Coco walked into the room and meowed and she said "Goodness, he wants out!" I said "Well, all my cats are indoor cats so he isn't going anywhere" and she said "He's so loud!" Oh shoot, if she says that and she's not even in the room, then I'm not imagining how loud he is. I've noticed that he doesn't like ear scritchies right now so that area must be sensitive.
She also may not be accustomed to Meezer Talk! ;) Hugs and prayers to you and Raoul!:love:
I am just now seeing this thread.... my prayers to you and Coco Puff. I hope he is better soon.
I have noticed in the past 6 months that Tabby's meow (she's 20 years old!) has gotten much louder also. She even sounds like she is crying out in pain, which is scary! And when I come into the house at night, even though she is sleeping on the bed just inside the front door, she doesn't hear me. I always have to go wake her up. So I know her hearing is goiing (maybe gone). She still plays, eats, pees and poops, so I am not overly concerned about it.
Just wanted to let you know that I understand what you are going through. Hang in there.

I hope the medicine works and makes Coco Puff feel better soon and get back to his normal "not quite so loud" naughty self.;)
Milly is such a loudmouth Meezer, you can hear her all over the house when she wants her food or to go out.
She also has a habit of wanting to announce herself to whoever is on the phone with me.:rolleyes:
Give Coco Puff a big hug and kiss from me and Milly.:love:
So many candles have been lit for my booper boy Coco Puff. Thank you all so much, my precious PT friends. You all mean the world to me. :love:
Poor Coco Puff. :( Prayers and good thoughts on the way.
Coco decided that he wanted to sleep w/me last night so, of course, I let him. I thought he'd want to be w/the rest of the Fur Posse as the night before but he kept coming up to the top of the stairs behind me, so I figured it was going to be a crowded bed again. I wish I could report that there's been a big change but, unfortunately, there hasn't. He has one more day to show signs of improvement and then I call Dr. Lee to schedule a skull x-ray.
So sorry to be reading this Mary. I have a lot ot catch up on. I hope that everything will be fine and that there will be nothing alarming found in the xray. Maybe it's just age related?? My foster Alex was really loud and he was deaf as well.

It doesn't seem as though he can hear anything and he's still startled when I enter a room. Plus Creamsicle is deaf, so I know the signs. His balance is off a little. He tried to jump up on the countertop (bad boy) and he missed. He's never done that before.
Now I don't know what to think. I just came home from grocery shopping and usually Coco Puff is "boop boop" ing all over the place, hopping up on the countertop to inspect packages, etc. This time he was sitting in the middle of the hallway and wouldn't move. I had to walk around him. I petted him and talked to him and he seemed totally disinterested. I think this is depressing him, poor boy.
Mary, I am so sorry things haven't improved for Mr Coco Puff. I hope the vet can find and fix the problem so you can have your Raoul Boop back to normal.
