No, Sally definately isn't deaf. She can hear quite well. She is slow to respond when called but she does respond, she just never does so in a hurry. Mind you I have no idea how far she comes most of the time from either. Sometimes it is the neighbours lounge but often it is at least 2 sections away.

It is blue eyed white cats that are often deaf, my in-laws had one, another absolute fruit loop by the way.

Sally already had her amber eyes when we got her. Since she came from the local vet I wondered at the time if the vet had kept the kittens until their eyes had turned in order to check for that, Sally was 10 weeks old when we got her.

I know what you mean by increase meowing. Smudge's meow changed quite markedly in her last year or so of life. It went from being this very pretty mmmrrrrrow to like loud howl we normally only heard on a trip in the car.
