There is a pet hobbyist site that deals with blind cats and I am sure you can
search for more. 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 have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of compassion
and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their
fellow man.

I agree. 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.

As I've said before, none of us know when we will die or how we will leave
this earth. 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.

Subject: feline glaucoma- question for anyone with knowledge
thanks
btw i was watching an old disney movie with a cat named winky and I
thought about your beloved slinky. I guess that little angel visited me too.

Hi Jenna. 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*

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.
Thanks in advance.
