Albus and Sylvia both enjoy splashing their water bowl around a bit, but in the last couple days it's become an actual issue. Albus keeps tipping/digging/splashing every drop out of the gallon size bowl we keep in our room where they stay most the day. He's completely emptied it 3 times in the...

Age is not 100% certain. Albus was not quite 6 pounds when he was surrendered to a shelter 4 months ago, and was not in great shape due to double eye infections. He's now 11.5 lbs, almost 12 lbs and still growing and eating. He and his littermate Sylvia (she's about 9.5 pounds but looks more...

I have a pair of ~9 month old siblings that I adopted almost 4 months ago. Albus is already 11.5 pounds and Sylvia is 9.5, and they're definitely still growing. Sylvia doesn't have eyes and Albus only has one bad eye, but they are clever, energetic, curious, cuddly, and very playful. Albus loves...

I noticed what looks and feels like a round, hard scab on Sylvia's forehead. She's blind (no eyes) and is 8 months old and goes crazy at playtime, and it's very possible she bumped her head into something while playing with her brother. She's been eating, playing, sleeping, and acting like...

I was finally able to wipe away what I thought was an eye booger from Sylvia's right eye hole, and when I did, I noticed what looks like a small scratch or suture rupture on the very edge of her eye where the booger/scab has been sitting for a week+. It looked a little weepy but not noticably...

Hello everyone, I have two 6 month old kittens who have had eyes removed. Sylvia had both out and her brother Albus had one out, about 6 weeks ago. While Albus's stitches wouldn't clot properly at first, it's since healed beautifully. I thought Sylvia was in the clear, but in the last couple...

So my lovely tiny blind cat Minerva passed away last month from geriatric kidney disease. Turns out she was much older than we were led to believe. Needing to fill the hole she left, my partner and I adopted 2 vision impaired kittens last week. They are nearly 6 months old. Sylvia has had both...

Hi everyone, First off, right off the bat, I have a vet appointment for Friday. I can't do before then between work and pay-day being Friday. I just want to try and figure out what's wrong to be a bit more prepared for the vet and what I might have to spend. Minerva has stopped grooming...

In the last several days, I've noticed a few changes with Minerva. I've heard her sneeze a couple times (not often), have seen a little snot running from her nose (not much or often, but she keeps licking her nose so it's hard to tell), and she hasn't been as social. She has always loved to...

So Minerva has had mild constipation as long as I've had her (nearly a year). I took her to the vet last May, and he told me to go buy Mira-lax. After some trial and error, I found she does best at a little less than 1/8 tsp twice a day. She's had very few issues since I found the correct dose...

I know dairy can be a problem for a lot of cats but I've given Minerva tiny tastes before of things like homemade ice cream, cheese, and a little bit of milk. Once she even managed to get her whole head into a box of Cheese Itz and eat one or two before I could stop her. :lol3: Anyway, would it...

Let me start off with saying that this is not a current health concern, my cat has been blind nearly her whole life, and I'm just curious as to what others think might have been the cause. I apologize if this isn't the appropriate forum to ask this but I wasn't sure where else to post it. So I...

I adopted a 4 year old blind siamese/thai cat in January. I initially had some issues with her toileting outside her litter box, but I switched to Dr Elsey's cat attract litter and the problem all but stopped. Being a novice cat owner, I hadn't realized some cats don't like scented litter...

I adopted a blind cat about a month ago and I've noticed she runs in tight little circles a couple times a day for several minutes at a time. I know this can be a sign of disorientation or being lost, but that doesn't seem to be the case with her. She simply paces in a small circle, gathering...

I recently (not quite a month ago) adopted an almost 4 year old blind siamese cat, Minerva. The rescue I got her from has had her since she was about a year old, and all I know is that she came to the rescue with a broken jaw and already at least mostly blind (it seems she's entirely blind now)...
