Mama Cat is blind now. And deaf. Cue the Helen Keller jokes.
Mama Cat.
She manages fairly well, knows where the litter box and food and water bowls are. Sometimes she gets confused and walks in circles (actually a lot), but if I see that I go and pick her up and she has started to like being held. She has developed a few favorite spots to sit, and I'm careful not to move furniture or leave stuff on the floor. Sometimes the sun shines onto the white enamel of the Visibake stove and she must be able to see a little, because she will stare at that white spot intently.
It makes me upset that this has happened- but all of the money that went to the animal eye doctor couldn't stop it (the blood vessels in the back of her eyes have deteriorated and leaked into her eyes). The same thing, strangely enough, happened to my father.
