Hello....
I have a 9 year old kitty named Caboose. I chose that name b/c he was supposed to be the last kitty I took in....well it didn't work that way.
At any rate, last week I discovered he is completely blind. Vet said he probably had a stroke...b/c the week before he was still jumping up on the counter.
This week has been very hard on me and Caboose. So far he (with my help) can still find his way to his litterbox (God love him)...to the water dishes and food dishes. He bumps into the other cats and gets scared...b/c they don't understand yet why he is bumping into them and they think he is attacking.
He can find his way back to the living room and with a struggle...can get back on the couch with me.
This is all new to me...so wondered if anyone else has a cat...that they have had for some years, and then the kitty goes blind.
Thanks for help.

there is a picture or him. Just learned how to do this AOL site and don't know it well...since I can't post a picture on this site yet.
