Hello, Lut!

I agree with all the above that Snoopy very well could be deaf! Her behaviour sounds very much like the oddities that made me wonder, when I got a kitten - Oliver - some years ago. It took me a while back then to figure out what the problem was!

During his first year Oliver learned to respond to vibrations of the floor or other objects, so I don't think dropping anything onto the floor would be conclusive as a proof of deafness. The enhanced ability to feel vibrations can be utilized, however: I learned to tap on the cupboard, or the mattress or whatever he was sleeping on, in order not to give him a shock if I needed his attention. I had to figure out quite different methods of training for him - since shouting "no!" had absolutely no effect!!

Oliver also learned to pay attention to my other cat, Chili, and to do what he did. It all worked out very well! The only problem about a deaf cat, is that it should probably not be allowed to go outside on its own. My mom has a semi-deaf cat, and you would not believe the stories I could tell about the trouble he has experienced from not being able to take care of himself properly - all because he is allowed to roam about as he pleases.

Good luck with Snoopy - the adorable...

Love,
Sus and Bella
