My 13 week old kitty going blind =( *Update-Post 31*

I am so sorry for you- but Mowgli will be ok. A good friend of mine has a blind kitty and Penelope is great! Of course she's only inside but she gets around well.
And still there may be some treatment.

Sending all good wishes to you and Mowgli.

Thanks for all the kind words. I will keep you all posted as I learn more.

Now the question, do I get him another kitty pal?! The doctor recommended it, but jeez, I just got my first! I wasnt quite ready for a 2nd. lol

I guess you need to see how treatable it is - and what any cost might be - before you take on another kitty.

Depending where you live, there might be a PT foster parent right around the corner!

[MyCatMowgli]

Yup, Im definitely going to give it some time.

I am so anxious to see the optometrist!

Actuallysight Is Not As Importatnt To A Cat. I Remember A Show On Pbs Where They Said That A Cat At The Most Has A Very Blurry Image Of The World, And That Thier Sense F Feel And Smell And Hearing Are Far More Impirtant To Them. My Princeess Is Sight Impaired And So Where My Older Cats Smokey And Range Blossom.
And Being This Young Mowgli Will Learn To Adapt That Much Quicker.
Please Keep Us Updated On Your Dear Companion.

Prayers for Mowgli, hugs for you. Whatever develops, I know you will find a way. And Mowgli, well, he will adapt just fine to almost anything. (Bobby isn't adapting to liquid meds; pills are fine. You can't have everything!) Keep us updated!

My dog, Sugar, had cataract surgery earlier this year. The eye specialist we go to is just amazing, she knows SO much, just specifically for the eyes. I am glad you are getting in to a specialist.

My Creamsicle is not only deaf but partially blind as well and nothing stops this little brat, nothing! I'm sorry that Mowgli may be losing his vision but if you keep him indoors, he should adapt just fine, especially if he has a playmate. Try not to worry too much. He came to you for a reason and his survival rate has soared because of you. Prayers going out that it's something treatable but if not, prayers still going out......
