Something seemed a little off about her, but we couldn't put our finger on it at first. She was healthy, yet she seemed unusually mellow for a 7-month old. Also, she would get scared and cry when there weren't any people around, but she didn't really want to be petted. She was smart enough to figure out where the food and litter box where and to catch on to the cat treat routine, but would cry and cry when she was out in the little room where we keep the cat food and couldn't seem to figure out how to get out of there. Well, if turns out that she is deaf. I clapped loudly a few feet away from her and she didn't flinch.
I've been checking Craigslist and looking at posters on telephone poles to see if anyone is looking for her, but if no one turns up I think we're going to try to find a home for her, since our other cat is totally freaked out about having another cat in the house. So, let me know if you're interested in taking a very sweet, deaf cat. She'll be hard to say goodbye to, though, I'm getting pretty attached...

What a cutie. Unfortunately, in a very similar turn of event, we just acquired cat #4. Much as I'd love to, I just can't take in anymore stray cats. Darn it.
Do not tell my children.
I repeat:

Children.
So...did she find a home or is she yours now?
She's still with us, I'm afraid. I've had a "Found Cat" post on craigslist for close to a week and no distressed owner has turned up. I'm not quite ready to say she's our cat, but I may be there soon.
