anybody have any tips on training blind cats? I know you're not supposed to move furniture at all and not pick them up much/at all. and also that they are indoor cats no matter what.

I have a 2 1/2 week old blind snow bengal kitten(only her out of 6 kittens), and I would love any advice on can get on training her in her life.

I want to train her to a harness/leash so she can go outside on that sometimes, and I want as much help as possible to help her navigate around the house.

Will she do okay in a household with other pets? We have 3 dogs and a turtle plus some more cats. I dont want her getting frightened of the dogs!

She responds well to vibrations and her hearing is amazing, she has a great memory of where to go in the place she's at right now too.

thanks in advance!

I would keep her indoors only, no harness/leash. I opened that can of worms with my blind kitty & she's a door darter now. Got outside a couple of times, too.
Don't move furniture. I doubt she'll have a hard time with the other animals, cats adjust easily.

One more thing, cats don't train!
Well, they train humans!
