well, gee, as i've been a host there for the past 7 years, i'm rather fond of the place.... i didn't know we had a blind cat area, tho....
i DO know, however, that on wednesday nights, we have a chat hosted by a vet tech who happens to have two blind kitties.... barb, phaewryn and marissa all come to our chats with some regularity, and are perhaps more objective than i.... (the transcript for the homemade cat-food chat from tonight will be availalbe in the next day or so.....) MC aka PHCatByte On 4/6/07, Marylyn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Blind animals do wonderfully as long as they stay inside and you don't rearrange the furniture every day. Cats, with their whiskers, should do better than dogs.

If you can't stop thinking about her....there is a reason. The best thing is to talk to your vet about what to expect. If you know what's coming it's easier to deal with. Like my old vet said when I got my first FeLV kitty - This is what she has. This is what can happen. This is how we deal with it. Not like she had anything more wrong with her than any other illness in a cat. Heck I've seen blind kitties that got around just fine.

The healthiest, happiest, most well cared for cats may be the ones to leave first. We just don't know. What we are all learning is what matters: The time and love we share together. The Royal Princess Kitty Katt taught me a lot about this. If this little one eyed cat is calling to you then you are supposed to have her and she you. Blessings to you both.

I don't really know anything about this disease, but I would suggest that you repost this email with the words "feline glaucoma" in the subject...that way people who have some knowledge or experience will be more likely to read it and respond. Also, what I do know, is that when a cat steals your heart, there's almost nothing you can do to stop it! :) And I'm sure Satine has picked out a new kitty she wants you to have. If this is the kitty, your heart will know and everything will work out. I know all about that heart ache...I just lost my Slinky a little over a week ago. It's harder than I ever imagined it could be and I know I couldn't go through it again right now. But I know that giving my love to another kitty is the best way to honor Slinky's life. I'm so glad you're considering this baby and opening your heart to new furkids who need a home! You're right...this is one of the kindest, most compassionate, and most knowledgeable groups of people on the web! I'm sure someone will be able to help answer your question. Just respost it with feline glaucoma in the subject line and I'm sure you'll get some info. Good luck figuring out what to do and keep us updated!! Hang in there! *hugs* MJ and Angel Slinky =^..^= *Jenna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>* wrote: Hello. Does anyone there know any about feline glacoma? I am looking at adopting one cat who had had one eye removed due to glacoma. She is very young- 3. She is very sweet, but I am terrified that some people have told me not to get a cat with this type of problem, that it could effect the other eye and she could go blind, or have other medical problems. I am afraid to take this kind of risk because I just lost my baby Satine, and the heart ache hurts soo much. Does anyone out there know anything about this illness? You all are some of the nicest people on the web, and the most educated about cat biology- so I really need some imput. I can't stop thinking about this kitty.
