A neighbor has a blind horse that does well in a fence field but it is fed daily. I have heard of blind cows before.
But a few years ago a calico barn cat I have went blind. She is a cat that has never been touched by human hands and was never fed. A true barn cat.
I was really thinking about putting her down because I did not want to see her starve to death. But every time I went out to do the task I could not find her. This went on for several weeks till I noticed her in the yard one day as fit as ever. Could not see how she was still hunting since she was blind but I let it pass since she seemed to be well fed.
This has been 2 years ago but I still see her in the yard. You can tell she is blind because she walks slow and bumps into things in the yard. I try to feed her when I can but she has to still be hunting to survive.
Then today I saw her walking across the field with 3 kittens in tow.
I really can not relate to what it must be like to be blind but this cat just amazes me.
Not only does she survive on her own being total blind but she also raises and teaches kittens.
This is just totally amazing to me.
