Alex is gone, and my heart is breaking

[Kalei]

AW they are all so cute. And I am so happy to know that you did get Alex and now Alex won't be hurt anymore. You are such a nice caring person to be doing everything you can to make sure Alex is safe and comfortable and I am so glad to hear it. Now Alex can have a long happy life and hopefully someday will grow out of his walking in circles, it is definately sad watching the poor kitty feel like he is only safe walking in circles, i'm guessing its because that's what he did in the shelter for years.

Thanks so much for helping this sweet kitty

They're both so beautiful. And you are beautiful in spirit for giving them such love. When I first got her, my Creamsicle behaved just the way Sassy does; she'd cry out and wander around aimlessly looking for me. I know it isn't just because she has no peripheral vision; she's also deaf. Creamsicle can feel vibrations, of course, so if she's upstairs crying for me and I'm downstairs, rather than run up there, I'll slap my hand hard on the stairs and she'll feel it and run to the top of the stairs and see me and then run down to me. Are you sure Sassy can hear?

Blessings,
Mary

It's Alex with the vision problem (Sassy just has anxiety issues... they are both black and look a lot alike though, lol).

I'm pretty sure Alex has hearing problems as well. I do the banging on the floor and stuff to get his attention to come my way as well. Like when he goes into the one carrier, can't figure a way out, howls, and I'll rap on the floor in front of the carrier and normally he'll figure out to turn around and come out. A few times today he just laid back on my chest and shoulder and heaved a sigh and relaxed. I'm sure this is just exhausting for him. When he cries, just like a normal cry, it sounds almost like a baby... but when he gets distressed, wow... it's like a loud wailing baby. I want to see how much surgery for cataracts would be. I hate for him to be so distressed.
