How can anyone not adopt a blind cat,I mean after they adjust they are just like a normal cat,I seen many videos of these animals and they are amazing,especially these cats and the two legged dogs.

Is the big orange kitty protective of the little ones? They're all beautiful!

We have two cats that are blind in one eye...Opala, an adult feral that we adopted last June (actually she adopted us...she walked into our house and never left) and the Lil BooBoo, a kitten that was left on our doorstep when a neighbor did'nt want her any more. She had a severe eye infection that left her cornea scarred, but it does'nt seem to bother her one single bit. The both of them are now happy, healthy and very much loved...impaired or not, we could'nt imagine our lives without them!

They do seem to adopt us rather than the other way around, don't they? I don't know if Topsie's totally blind or not, but she doesn't see well. I love her, her sister, and her adoptive cat Mommy sooo much.

Actually, cats that are either visually impaired or completely blind usually do very well. Most people don't know this, but cats don't see all that well...in fact that they're rather nearsighted. Oh, they detect even the slightest movement without a hitch, but once the object of their attention is still, they can't really see it. Needless to say they rely more on their superb hearing and smelling abilities to analyze their environment than they do their vision. A random bit of trivia!

Maybe that's why they go wacky when I pull a string or roll a ball but they'll just sit there until I pull or wriggle the string and then they pounce on it or chase it. They're so much fun to play with, blind or sighted!
