Claims
Species: Cat (Felis catus)Disorder: Deafness, LHFPL5-relatedClin feat: Perret et al (2025): "A 30‐month‐old cat was presented with a chronic history of deafness, vestibular signs, intermittent aggressive behavior, and vocalizations. The owners reported that the cat had never shown any normal response to noise or calling. ... Neurological examination identified loud vocalizations while pacing into the room, which were subjectively judged to be related to hearing impairment rather than pain. A bilateral head swaying movement was also observed together with a low head and body posture close to the ground ... . An ophthalmological examination was unremarkable."
