The cat with house privileges is an old, arthritic Persian who mostly curls up in the warmest place she can find. Jumping up on stuff is a distant memory of her girlhood, although there is a low chair she sometimes will get up on. She makes a vocalization that isn't exactly a meow. If she has eye contact she just pantomimes it. For a while I was going to get my hearing tested but one of the other cats does meow. afaik her hearing is okay although she is not fond of flutes or tin whistles. About the only downside is she snores. One of the other cats has been getting a little chunky. I was on a website today that said a house cat that's 13 pounds or more is obese. I just weighed her and she's 13 even. Now to figure out how to put her on a diet without shorting the others.
