ABSTRACT
Animal-Computer Interaction (ACI) is a discipline that encourages study on animal interactions, and there are few studies that discuss disabled animals. This study will focus on cats with hearing loss and explore ways to build the emotional connection between humans and cats through interactions. The prototype design consisted of three parts, all of which were used in a two-week initial feasibility test. In the test with volunteers, two deaf cats and their keepers have participated in the interactive progress, and the owners’ feedback showed some valuable results, which may refer to further studies around this topic.
