I have a twisted sense of humor!!!
I see something!!


It's hot....she's sleepy



Her eyes look funny here!



For those of you who didn't get the title...Damita is blind. She must've smelled something out the window to turn just right to appear as though she was looking!

The vet told me she is 100% blind. But, I dunno. Seems like maybe she can sometimes see something like a person walking in front of her. But, she can't see a wall. She still walks into walls & things like chair legs, doggie legs, people legs, furniture. If it moves, seems like 50% of the time she sees it & 50% of the time she doesn't?


Her pupils get bigger & smaller....but never at the right times. I don't think light affects her at all.

I agree....a cat's ears are incredibly precise instruments, and with her being blind possibly enhancing other senses, there is no telling what she may be able to hear. And...she is a very pretty girl

aww bless sweet Damita - she is a treasure
give her some tummy rubs from us


Her eye, the pupil, nearest the camera on that last photos looks like Miss Moofs
so I do wonder if shes blind too - just in the one eye


note: this one in the sig. is before Moofs eye troubles......so it looks ok

Ann, I wouldn't be surprised if Moofi didn't have sight in her one eye, but she could have easily adjusted. Damita has been loosing her sight for a year...and she has adapted so well. There were a few rough weeks where she was so lost all the time....
