Newly blind cat
Hello community. Our vet and an internist believe that our one-year-old Kissa has dry FIP. Kissa started losing her sight about 10 days ago, and yesterday it was confirmed that she is now totally blind. She navigates the house ok, and we are getting a baby gate for the steps. I'm just worried--is she afraid? She doesn't play, and that could be whatever is making her sick and not the blindness. I just want to make her feel comfortable and safe, no matter if she's here for another week or another month. Any advice?
Thank you.
Thank you.

She could be emotionally unsettled, yes, or also sick. It's hard to tell.

I found a kitten in a drain a few weeks ago. I took him home. He recovered at a good rate, but his sight is so weak. Whenever he hears unknown sound, he gets scared and starts crying until i hold in my arms andGBWhatsApp APK (my primay language is Hindi and my english is not good, so i'm not getting the right word here, i think, pet his head with slow & soft movements). Then he relaxes. I tried the jingly balls, but he is runnning away from them. Any suggestions please.

Hi Ayush,
Your English is excellent, don't worry about that.
I don't know much about blind kittens but I think critters will when she visits the board and sees your post. How old is your little kitten?

Hello, I recently adopted a cat that looks half blind. I'm seeking advice on how to help him adjust to his new condition and create a safe and enriching environment for him. Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi LucaJones,
If your cat has partial vision, that's great!
Blind cats do amazingly well as indoor cats. They can even catch mice. When I watch this video, I believe it!
This post has some good suggestions to make things easier for your cat.
