Mom has never had a blind kitty but our woofie Zeke is getting cataracts. Our v-e-t said it's happening slowly enough that Zeke will be used to getting around with less and less vision. Maybe Dorf will have the same type of experience.

All 4 were sighted cats and lost their vision thru various illnesses. Mommy called her and told her about dear darlin' Dorf's Dx. Her advice is similar to everyone elses - keep the furniture moving to a minimum, food and water in the same spot (and the boxes) and keep lights as bright as can be. Maw, you and Paw are awesome kitty parents and Dorf is lucky to have you guys. Mommy wants you to know how awful she feels for Dorfie - so much has happened to him. He is her favorite 40 - she already told you why.<BR/>And Reno - give 'em heck at the Vets, we as felines are very proud of your protestations!Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222909224921040679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096024807843208191.post-34066557670013031792007-10-10T18:46:00.000-04:002007-10-10T18:46:00.000-04:00Oh man, my poor sick buddies over there.

I can only say do whatever you can to make him as comfortable as possible in your home.<BR/><BR/>Myself, I wouldn't let the cats re-sort out the hierarchy amongst themselves. I would intervene, and I'd make sure he has a safe spot to go where he can be away from everyone if he needs that.Sunny's Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279659034201110001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096024807843208191.post-26521207641439459502007-10-10T14:19:00.000-04:002007-10-10T14:19:00.000-04:00bless his little heart, awww honey we is so sorry ...bless his little heart, awww honey we is so sorry you are hafing problems at the v e t. yeesh, poor baby...<BR/><BR/>hugs, auntie bee<BR/>xoxoEmpress Bee (of the high sea)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08300140506585000934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096024807843208191.post-508545172350983432007-10-10T12:14:00.000-04:002007-10-10T12:14:00.000-04:00alright Reno - keep hollerin'!!Oh Dorf, we is so s...alright Reno - keep hollerin'!!<BR/><BR/>Oh Dorf, we is so sorry to hear about your eye prollems. Norton was blind for several weeks before he went to the Bridge - mainly from high blood pressure and old age. He did very well walking around the house, and mommy made shur not to put anything in his way. He was always alpha cat, and that didn't change. nobody beat him up or anything. Trixie also was blind for a short period before she went to the Bridge. Miles escorted her around the house and nobody beat her up either. <BR/><BR/>SammyThe Meezers or Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05035027094894711341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096024807843208191.post-36827339101118448522007-10-10T12:10:00.000-04:002007-10-10T12:10:00.000-04:00Yoo go Reno, don't make it easy on dem...hehehe.Ou...Yoo go Reno, don't make it easy on dem...hehehe.<BR/>Our naybor has a blind cat, a deaf cat, 4 sighted cats and a blind dog.

We also know that her cat went blind after it had lived and fawt with the other cats but since loosing it's site the other cats either leave him alone or help him depending on their purrsonality.

We think she has gone deaf. I do tend to pick on her more because it's harder for her to defend herself but mostly I leave her alone. <BR/><BR/>While I'm sure pecking order will need to get reestablished, it may come and go in terms of how.
