Awwww! Brought tears to my eyes!!!Originally Posted by frankthetank
My husband took a couple videos of Billy playing alone, and showed them to people at his work...they thought for sure that the video was not of the blind cat because he played so well! As I write this, Billy is running around playing with a noisy ball.
We did get a couple pictures of Billy (11wks) and Joey(13wks) sleeping together yesterday! They did so well playing together yesterday morning, that we brought Joey into Billy's room for awhile...and they LOVED it. They chased each other, played together, rolled around together for hours. Joey would be on the couch looking down at Billy, Joey would swat down at him, and jump to the floor....so Billy would swat back, and jump onto the couch right where Joey was...and swat at the floor at Joey...and they would do it all over again. It is so funny, cute and wonderful to see. They both just love having someone to play with. I worry that Joey might play too rough..he is still a kitten, and we aren't sure if he can tell Billy is blind. Joey is only 2 weeks older than Billy but is a good amount bigger. Billy can hold his own, and Joey has backed off if Billy seems to hide...we watch them together and they both seem to like playing together! Billy isn't hissing anymore when Joey comes around like he did the first day.
We are not introducing other cats yet...just Joey because he is about the same age, and we figure he would be better about a new cat than our older cats.
When we adopted Joey 8 weeks ago we swore it was our last cat...but when I saw that Billy was going to be taken to a shelter, where he would have surely died, my husband and I could NOT let that happen so we took him in. And we are so happy we did.
His vet appt went well, he is healthy and the blindness just looks to be something that happened to him, not any type of sickness or anything.
As soon as I figure out how to post videos, I will add a couple!
I added a picture of Billy and Joey sleeping together, so I am hoping I uploaded it right...its VERY cute!
