Winston asked me to add this: He also has some health problems besides the blindness. He has a heart murmur, and some of his insides aren't in the expected places He is only 6 lbs because of the heart problem using all his growth energy. The vet says I need to watch as he gets older, because his heart might not last .

Make sure you make the kitty food very smelly - use wet food, or put a bit of milk or tuna-can water on the dry to make it smell better. That might get the kitten to eat more. And, with practice, you will find a smell that won't bother the humans too much.

Get a box with high sides - for a while I even used a big plastic flower pot. Put a soft towel in the corner and the water in the other corner. If your kitty tips the bowl of food and/or water, you can get the kind of bowls that wont tip. Or, in Winston's cage, we use bowls that attach to the bars of the cage so they wont move.

Some blind kitties don't like to be picked up. But, with Winston, since he was handled extensively since his 2nd week, he doesn't seem to mind, and is easy to handle. Sit on the floor with the kitty and let her climb on you.

And of course, just love her!
