I read about a kitten once that was born with no eyes - just bone and skin and fur (in the normal configuration) - no eyesockets, just smooth head, nose, mouth, whiskers... All in perfect working order. It ran along just like its siblings and had absolutely no trouble. It couldn't calculate jumps, obviously, but aside from that all that was different was that its ears, eyebrows and whiskers were always cocked. So even aside from the whole "cats can see in very little light" thing (which I naively assumed was widely known and understood!), they also have considerably superior resources when they can't see. |

My Misty, who went to sleep at 19 1/2, had been blind for some time before I realized it...she was so clever at finding her way around that when she would hesitate before jumping on something or sometimes mis-judged & had to scrabble to get on what she was jumping at that I just thought it was her arthrtitis!! I was absolutely horrified that she'd gone blind, but it didn't seem to bother her at all. Cats are incredibly clever at coping with something like this. |
