You're very fortunate people here..........
"MaryL" -OUT-THE-LITTER wrote in message ... "Kelly Greene" wrote in message ... Thank you for that information. I think Lucky will be deaf in one ear. Her left ear was as bad as an inner ear infection can be they said. I know she'll learn to compensate in time if her hearing doesn't improve. She'll be safe in the house with us. She shows no interest in trying to get outside. We're sure she was someone's indoor housecat until they decided to get rid of her. Her wounds from being attacked by the other neighbor's cat have healed nicely. Photos of Duffy and Holly: 'o' Duffy: http://tinyurl.com/cslwf How on earth does he jump up on and down from things if he's blind??!?!?! Holly: http://tinyurl.com/9t68o She looks so much like a black male cat I had back in the 1960s. :-) Duffy and Holly together: http://tinyurl.com/8b47e Duffy conquers the Christmas tree: http://tinyurl.com/clal7 They're beautiful cats and you have a lovely home. As I said, Duffy truly is remarkable. However, he doesn't jump up and down in the same way as Holly does. He loves what I call his "vertical space"--he climbs everything with great agility, and never damages anything. He will leap down from a chair or the sofa, but he *descends* from higher heights. I have a couple of tall cat trees, and also a carpeted pole mounted to the side of the computer hutch. He scrambles up and down those areas like a little gymnast. He whirls around the posts on his way up, then starts head-first downward but rotates his body and then backs down sort of like a little bear. Even so, I find him in the most remarkable places and without any damage. You may have seen the picture where he somehow got up onto the top of the easel where I was painting and was hanging down over the front of the painting. No, I didn't see that picture. But I saw him up on things all through your home. I don't have any idea how he can possibly know how to do that, but he does. If I move a chair, he will be sitting on it five minutes later. He somehow senses they're there. Animals are remarkable and can do wonderful things! Duffy doesn't know he's handicapped. He's looks like a perfectly happy contented cat. :-) Thanks for the compliments. MaryL |
