Between playing and treats, we've made some progress. Annie has gone up to Turk to sniff his tail - only to hiss. This picture is them earlier today. Poor Turk wants to be close to Annie so he slowly lowered his paw to her. She let it happen for a moment before hissing - Turk then slowly...

We've been doing that over the past day and it's helped. :) He got close to her again today, this time within sight, and he made no attempt to hurt her but Annie started flipping out. Unfortunately, I have to yell over her yowling at Turk to get him to move away because Annie can't hear...

He's got that grey bluish black thing going on all over but his tummy almost seems like a light grey/tan color. That could be because his fur is much thinner there in comparison with the rest of his body and the skin shows through more? Not sure. Interesting info about the white spot. I...

Thanks for the reply and the info! It doesn't matter to me what he is, I love him regardless, but Burmese didn't seem to fit. I looked up Himalayan and that's closer. He's got to be a mix of something. :)

I've been told that my new cat, Turk, is a Burmese. I tried to look up information about the breed online and it appears that they are not long hair cats. What do you guys think he may be? He was shaved down a couple months ago at his foster home. He's mainly grey and black but his tummy...

Thanks for that link. I see I already do a lot of that. :) We used to have blind and deaf senior dogs that we took in to be loved so once we caught on she was deaf it wasn't a hard adjustment. I've found tapping near her works better when you want her attention and she's sleeping. Basic...

We make sure she's still getting lots of love one on one. It's just weird to feel so close yet so far when it comes to them getting along. Turk needs to learn about personal space, lol.

He actually came with a little bell on his collar which helpful, for us, lol. Unfortunately, she's completely deaf so it won't help her. She responds to no noise. You can clap your hands right behind her head and no response. We use hand signals with her but if she's not looking at you she...

We currently have a 10 year old female cat named Annie. She is petite and deaf and got along well with her two kitty 'brothers' until they passed away; one of cancer, a few years back - the other of kidney disease this past July. Annie has seemed more withdrawn since being an only cat and she...
