let’s hear
Monday, May 3rd, 2010 | breeding, vetmed | 2 Comments
Last friday we went to the university of veterinary medicine to have the hearing of our l-litter checked. The procedure is called brain-stem audiometry and takes just a tiny tiny narkosis an can be done on babies as young as ours. There are little needles (electrodes) placed under the skin of the head and a computer registers the conduction of certain acoustic signals inside the head.
White cats do inherit a higher risk of being deaf. It’s a defect and should not be bred from. Also cats who produce many deaf kittens aren’t meant to be contributing to the gene pool of any breed. So you can imagine I wasn’t completely calm while watching the procedure.
But you may also imagine how happy I felt when we found out all ears are hearing perfectly!

Karayaka left on a plane to London on friday evening. She’s already made friends with her new furry companions it seems. Best wishes to her and her new mommy, good luck at the shows and may the kitten fairy be generous once it’s time!
Merry Christmas!
