| I'm not a prisoner, I'm a free cat! |
Mist had her follow-up appointment today.
Her ear infection is all better!
It's confirmed that she's deaf. The vet says that this will not bother her much as she's already very visual to compensate.
Her cocked head and slightly wobbly gait are likely from an illness her mother was carrying while she was in the womb. Again, this shouldn't bother her much and she will adapt.
We can spend a shit-ton of money to find out exactly why she's got that cocked head, but it won't cure it so we're opting to skip it.
Nothing about being deaf or having this mild neuro problem really affects how happy and full her life will be.
Just to prove that point, she spent the entire day chasing, first, Shadow and, then, Beeper.
There was much scampering and everyone involved seemed to be having fun.
If only Beeper and Shadow could interact so. They still hate each other for no apparent reason.
Huzzah! Great news. She will do just fine and she is adorable. We had a kitty who went totally blind over the years and we didn’t even notice at first. She just compensated as she got older and slowed down. She remained the matriarch of a tribe of five until her demise and never seemed to have a problem adapting. Thank you and all of you stay safe and well. Mark
