Can someone help me out here? I have some cute cat pix, but I don't know how to post them here. Thanks in advance!

My Manx cat Bear is the head butt king at our place. He also likes to pose for the camera at every opportunity...

Pat also hums and gestures. It seems to work on James :-).

No, that's the implant part, it actually plugs into his head, if you can believe it! It sends signals to his brain that his ears no longer can. Amazing things, those cochlear implants.

Thanks for this info--I never had any idea how a cochlear implant works. Plugs into his head, yikes!

Here she is...as a toddler.

...and as a teenager lounging on the pool table.

I think my cat's official classification is "Big Lazy Fattie with Orangish Stripes."

"AHEM. Black stripes. Thank you."

not sure how you mean it...but a CI (cochlear imlant) does not "plug in" to his head.


There are 2 parts. The implant which stimulates the hearing nerve via being implanted in the cochlea

and the second part. the part thats visible on Rush which is the computer.

The computer simply rests on his ear like a hearing aid. The microphone is located on that longer straight thin peice that runs along the front of his ear. sound goes in the microphone travels to the computer where it gets fancied up travels to the small piece on his head where it gets transmited via radio waves through the skin and to the implant.

there is nothing "plugged in".


just some friendly clarity brought to you by the parent of a child that has one :)

I don't see a cat there. What does that have to do with anything?

This is "Sassy."

The implant is not "plugged into his head".

[merry10]

Thank you. I knew you would have the technicalities. Plugged into his head, lol.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Aww! The grey/black tabbies look like my big boy Clyde.

As a man, I prefer manly cats...short dense hair, deep meow voice, fools around a lot, long face--not that pushed in Pug face...you know, a GUY'S cat.

Any men concur?

Yup, me too. Before my mother died, we had a big male orange tabby. He was Mr. Toughguy in the neighborhood. He actually killed an oppossum that had taken up residence under our porch, and pulled it out. But when he was around my mother, he was "mommie's little boy." He acted like a kitten around her, and was SO affectionate to her. He was very much her baby. I've got photos of when my mother was taking her chemotherapy where she was in her reclining chair, and he'd climb up in her lap, put one paw on either side of her neck, and bury his head under her chin, nuzzling her, and just go to sleep there. When she died, he pined and cried, stopped eating, and eventually ran away.

He was a cool, beautiful cat, and I miss him.
