Just some babbling. First, thank you everyone who's responded to the earlier post so far. Good thoughts, lots of good thoughts.
Second...I am so glad this didn't happen for a year and a half after we brought her here. Sudden-onset blindness might have doomed her when she was my parents' cat (she was an indoor-outdoor cat - if she'd been outside and not found her way back...yikes!). Even if they'd brought her indoors, when we brought her here, the disorientation would have been horrible. I hate to think of her trying to learn a completely new house with completely new people, with little or no vision, and as twitchy and nervous around strangers as she was then. As it is, she's had all this time to learn our house, learn us, come to trust us, come to be calmer with strangers...I'm sorry it happened at all, but I'm so glad it didn't happen earlier.
She charmed the staff at the veterinary specialists, Scott reported. She was an odd enough case that she had several of the staff around her at one point, apparently (they'd taken her in the back, so Scott's not sure who-all was there; the neurologist was the one she was seeing, but I assume one of the two ophthalmologists was also present, if not both of them). And apparently she was calm, sweet, and patient with them and utterly charmed them. They told Scott what a sweet girl she was. That's our Babe!
