My cat has gone blind. I'm trying to crate him (practice run) because he isn't used to it yet and has hurt himself. We're home as much as possible but obviously there are some things we have no control over. We are doing our best to retrain him to use aids, put up barriers, scent markers, etc, all the things that we can do, but obviously he still occasionally tries to do things like he's sighted.
First thing he did was get so upset he threw up. Then he struggled (obviously) with understanding he was restricted. Then he really started flipping out. He's in the bed now, which is the one he always used before, but periodically he gets up and tries to escape.
I'm not really asking for advice since really all that can happen now is he gets used to it but I mostly want to crawl under a rock and die. I can handle everything else, but this is just one step too far.
