Re: [Felvtalk] Blind positive cat
HOW ABOUT JUST BRINGING HIM HOME FOR A DY OR 2 TO TRY IT OUT. I HAD ONE ONCE, WASN'T COMPLETELY BLIND SO I LAID OUT A TRAIL OF FOOD FOR HIM TO FOLLOW UNTIL HE GOT USED TO THE HOUSE. ONCE HE KNOWS HIS WAY AORUND, SHOULD BE OKAY. I ALSO HAD A 19 YER OLD POODLE THAT HAD CATARACTS. MY HALF FERAL CATS WOULD BRING HER MICE TO CATCH AND WHEN IT GOT OUT OF HER LINE OF VISION, THEY WOULD BT AT IT SO SHE COULD FIND IT. THEY ALSO KEPT HER OUT OF THE ROAD. EVERYTIME SHE GOT TOOO CLOSE, THEY WOULD BUMP HER WITH THEIR SHOULDER AND HEAD HER BACK TO THE HOUSE. HOPEFULLY YOUR CAT WILL FEEL PROTECTIVE ALSO. WILL PRAY FOR ALL 3 OF YOU.

[Felvtalk] Blind positive cat
Does anyone have experience with a blind FeLV+ cat? There is one near me who needs a home, so I am considering him. I think he is about 1-2 years old. I believe his blindness comes from a viral infection. I do not have stairs in my home, and I have been told he is littertrained. I plan to start him out in one room. I'm also concerned about stressing my 12 yo positive cat. He likes other cats, but I don't know how sensitive his immune system will be to a change in the household and would hate to cause him to have a health relapse due to introducing a new cat. On the other hand, I know how hard it is to rehome a positive cat, and since I already have a positive household, I feel like I should be open to helping other positives.
