:-) Hi Everyone, I'm new here and learning slowly how to get around this wonderful site, even tho it has been two weeks since I joined. I am widowed with two children and 7 grandchildren. I own two cats and one is deaf, like me, named Casper, who I taught to understand a few signs and does crazy things. I want to learn how to make a quilt that shows Casper doing all kinds of crazy things.

My friend has a male white cat that is deaf also. I think I read somewhere that it is quite common in white male cats. He is adorable though!!!

Thank y'all for the welcome. I heard about the deafness in male white cats, too. I was very surprised to see that in his first year, Casper had yellow eyes. Imagine that! I've seen green or blue, but never yellow. As he reached his first birthday, they turned into a pale sage greenish yellow.

Welcome from up the road a piece.
Your cat looks just like my rescue, Frederica.
They are so cute and loving.

Here you will receive so much encouragement that you will be sewing lovely quilts and lap robes/couch throws in no time at all.
And should you have any questions, there is talent here from all over the world to help.

Hello and welcome from the Arkansas Ozarks.
Happy quilting.

cdarts2 07-29-2011 12:26 PM

yep, he is full of sass; gabs a lot, like me; selfish; inventive; likes to get into my craft things; turn on the printer and chase after the paper; and so on...... Love him, but don't trust him.

cdarts2 07-29-2011 12:29 PM

Thank you. I will need lots of that.

Hi and welcome from CT.

Thank you for the friendly welcome. I saw that lovely quilt in your photo. It grabbed my heart. It is beautiful. Yes, I've got plans to learn how to quilt and have gathered a few cat patterns, plan to draw some of my own, and start collecting some fabrics.
Been looking at each quilt on this site and getting inspired. I am soooo impressed with them. :-D That is for u, IBQUILTING.

cdarts2 07-29-2011 02:07 PM

Yep, Cala, he is,that's why I LOVE him, but can't TRUST him. :lol:

Greetings from the Sacramento area. Our neighbor has a deaf cat. Poor thing got in our yard the other night and the dogs weren't too happy about it. When DH went to investigate, the little one snuck in the house and I had to catch her and take her home - at the crack of early.

Howdy, Welcome from Porter Ok. Glad you could join us.

cdarts2 07-29-2011 05:26 PM

When Casper gets out of my apartment, he gets so scared that he ends up at the top of a stairway in the apartment complex and cowers in a corner until I find him and bring him home.

Hi, from Merced. I had Sassy...who looks just like yours. He was a wonderful cat. My daughter brought him home fully grown and unfortunately we didn't have him too long. He bonded with the dog, Jenny. A lab mix, Jenny used to climb the fence and walk along the 2 x4 with Sassy. Sassy and Jenny used to jog with my daughter. Neither pet knew they were a cat or dog...took on the traits of each other.
