Deaf #cat explores #London by bicycle Sigrid wears sunscreen on her ears and has special goggles to protect her eyes from the wind Many different types of Londoner can be spotted on bikes in the capital - but few of them as furry as Sigrid. The long-haired Norwegian Forest cat is white with blue eyes, a combination that usually results in deafness. Since she was small, a leashed Sigrid has been exploring the sights, if not the sounds, of London with her owner Travis Nelson. He said it felt like a "natural next step" to put her in the basket of his bike to see if she enjoyed the ride.
