Meet Murdock!
Excuse the goo....he had medicine on his face.
Murdock is a 5 week old rescue kitten that is my newest foster. He was born either without eyes or with eyes so small and underdeveloped that we can't find them. He has empty eye sockets that are slightly infected, but he has good lid movement and enough tear production to keep the sockets moist for now. Murdock is settling in really well for being a feral kitten. He has mastered the litter box, eating well, and is starting to really play! I know the basics for caring for a blind baby. Don't move things around and don't pick him up and move him. When I hold him, I always put him back down next to his food so he knows where he is.
My question is... what can I do to stimulate Murdock or help him play or interact with the other foster kittens? He knows they are there, but can't follow and keep up. Should I get some balls that make sound for play and maybe attach a collar with a bell to one of the other kittens? Do I just keep giving him time? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
