I can only imagine the combined story-telling style of Lupin and Ora Zella, constantly interrupting each other…. and poor Iggy wouldn’t be able to get a word in edgewise!
I’ve been wondering if this would turn out to be a, um, space heater-side story or real events. Turns out it’s both!I’m still trying to figure out if Lupin is unaffected cause he’s deaf or because he’s not REALLY an adult. I’m probably over thinking it, but the kids’ hearing would be better than the adults. Not sure at what age feline hearing peaks, but for humans it is around 10-12 years. So I would tend to think the kittens would have better hearing than the adults, so it would be something they CAN hear keeping them sane…. But then there’s Lupin…. I’m over-thinking this, aren’t I?
The intriguing point about Bea’s hypothesis is that kids have better hearing than adults. Human hearing peaks around 10-12 yrs, so technically ALL adults have hearing loss. And you’d expect all the cats to hear better than the adults. I was going to suggest maybe it is something they CAN hear that is protecting them, but then Lupin lept in and knocked that theory off the shelf!
Wolves are chasers, not stalkers. They rely on endurance rather than surprise.
