Duffy's physical exam (good)
Duffy had his exam this week and received an excellent health report. The
reason I'm reporting is that the vet said he has "extraordinary" muscle tone for a blind cat, especially around his hind legs. I have frequently posted suggestions that people get a good cat tree, and I especially emphasize that for blind cats. I think this report shows one of the benefits of a cat tree. In addition to the pleasure it brings, it also has noticeable benefits for physical strength. The only thing Holly can do that Duffy can't do is Holly can run full-speed through the house and quickly turn directions, leap high, etc. That is Duffy's one limitation, but he more than makes up for it by being a little gymnast on the cat trees and other climbing poles I installed for him. He will trot around at a surprising rate of speed for a blind cat, but he would run into things if he tried to emulate Holly on that. Incidentally, the vet also mentioned that his teeth are in excellent condition (no dry food whatsoever). MaryL |

What wonderful news! We bought a cat tree (finally!) when we added our
kitten to the household last fall. It's the best thing we've ever done for the cats. It's become a play spot, resting spot, and perch. |
