Meg, maybe I'm confused but what does your hubby think you have to do that is so different for blind kitties?
I do nothing special for Magoo now. I try to keep the floor space normal so he doesn't find any surprises but I can assure you that hubby blows that out of the water daily! Shoes, towels, clothes, any old thing he happens to be working on is left where ever until he is done. Magoo doesn't care and just goes around it! I'm thinking that your hubby is thinking they are going to need so much extra care but they don't require anymore than any other cat.
If I can be of any help just let me know because I now consider myself almost a pro!!
