A cat that alerts its deaf owner to phone calls and visitors has been shortlisted for a national award. Zebby, an untrained two-year-old from Derbyshire, also taps Genevieve Moss on the face to encourage her to put on her hearing aid, fetches her slippers when he notices they’re not on her feet, and brings her the morning post. He will compete against two other cats in the “Family Fur-ever” category at the National Cat Awards in July. “In the night, if there’s an unusual noise, he will bat me on my head to wake me up and let me know,” Moss said. “Zebby is very special.”
