I'm one that is going to say if you can work around hubby's veto - go for it! I was actually already scheming on how to get around Terry's veto - which isn't likely - but like you, I hate the thought of him being alone in that cage all day. I have no experience with blind kitties so I can't help you there, but from what Catmandu says, and from what I've read here about other blind kitties, the others will help him. Probably one will take over as his caretaker like with rkidsrcats Pippin (I think it is). She would actually be the one to ask advice from because she has a blind kitty and others who are "sight challenged."

I would be so grateful if you did take him because then I could stop worrying about him.
