Blind cats

   1. Recognize that your cat has gone blind 

In some cases, it will be very clear to you, such as when you're given a blind kitten from the word go, or when your cat has an accident that harms the eyes. However, when a cat gets old, it won't always be obvious to you that your pet's eyesight is fading. Some indicators to help you realize that this might be an issue include:
  •    Your cat sticks to the wall when moving, using them as a guide.
  •    Your cat keeps bumping into things all the time.
  •    Your cat misses jumps or landings that she used to manage with ease before.
  •    Your cat is reluctant to venture outdoors––as a cat's eyesight begins to fail, this can be more remarkable  to the cat on bright sunny days, or during the darkness of night.
  •    You might see a bluish tinge or a milky cloud in your cat's eyes if the deterioration is a result of aging (the lens is deteriorating). Sometimes red blood spots will shown in eyes.
