I read this sweet phrase: *Blind cats, see with their hearts.*
We've had cat's that were deaf, tripod, declawed [rescue] or thought they were a dog; but never blind; I can't imagine what challenges that would bring.

*chuckle* Apparently blind cats can do quite well. Remember Oskar?

Cats approaching 20 years often become blind. Keep'm indoors (a screened in porch is ideal for a former outdoor kitty), and DON'T MOVE THE FURNITURE. They still love, can use scent and hearing (unless that's shot, too) to find essentials ... people and treats.

Google “Oskar the Blind Cat” sometime for a look at just how well a blind kitty can do for himself. He’s completely a normal, happy, loving cat who does normal silly cat things like sleep in boxes or drink from the tap.
