More on the "blind" bobcat

I say "blind" because he has some vision in one eye...
Apparently, he is now well enough to be moved to his outdoor enclosure.

I have been trying to plan something to go do with out spending a lot of
money. I think I am going to have to go drive down there about 2 hours from
me. To go visit this place again and I know I will have a ton of pics to
upload when I get home ;-)

If he were a person, he would probably be considered "legally blind".

Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary,
how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how
to combine them.

What a cute little bobcat!

I've mentioned my aunt, who was legally blind. She was in her 20's when she
lost most of her sight. No, she couldn't drive a car. She couldn't even
see her reflection in a mirror. (She once described it like someone had
smeared vaseline all over the mirror.) But she could cook up a storm. She
refinished furniture. She did ceramics. She could read books with the help
of a special magnifying glass, and write cards and letters using the same.
Being legally blind isn't the be-all end all of life.

Right. Attitude makes a huge difference. This morning I saw a documentary
about an artist named Ginny Ruffner. She was in a horrendous auto accident
and had a massive brain injury. She was in a coma for months, and showed no
signs of brain activity, but her family refused to pull the plug. The
doctors said that even if she lived, she would never walk or talk again.
Today she walks - with a limp and a cane, but she walks. She talks,
although her voice is raspy and she's sometimes a bit hard to understand.
And she creates amazing sculptures.

Wow! Not only is the story amazing... is that the correct spelling of her
name? My father's mother was a Ruffner. I'll have to look up Ginny
Ruffner, thanks.

I'm not sure about the spelling, but I think so. Who knows? She could be a
relative.

Great story! Especially about her doing visual arts with such
limited sight - that's pretty amazing.

When I was about eight or 9 years old, Aunt Jean made a very small ceramic
(purple) upside-down kitty cat for me. It was a chewing-gum holder. I
suppose the wad of chewed gum was supposed to look like a ball of yarn the
kitten held on it's tummy, playing with it. It was adorable! Sadly, it got
lost in the intervening years. I do still have some of her recipes
