I’m deaf and don’t wear my hearing aids unless I need to. My 3 cats know I’m deaf.

Since they know I’m deaf, I use hand motions like “come here” (open and close fingers while palm is up) for them to come up on the bed or “No” (palm up, like ✋🏻). But they’ve also learned to sit in front of me until I get up to let them out or feed them or whatever.

Cats. Gotta love ‘em 🐈
