My Mojo is also deaf. I didn't realize it untill 1 year after I had her. She is SUCH a chatterbox! She's ALWAYS dooking, screeching, hissing, and talking. When she went in to get her shots last month, the vet tech scruffed her and the doctor did the dirty work. the whole time she was SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER and hissing and trying to bite the vet tech. I started petting her and she quited down. But She's always been the one to talk, and I think she just does it out of her instinct because she does it all the time. ===== ~*~*~ VALERIE ~*~*~ ,',', __ \ `'`,/ \ ()o=; `'`','`/ . \/ / ( / \" / \(_ \(_ ~*`~*`FERRETS RULE~`*~`* [Posted in FML issue 3891]
