My Blind Babies

[u/Slothopus99]

Stevie (cream, girl) and Ray (grey, boy). The sweetest babies ever. Always together 💞

So, both siblings were born blind? I don't think I've ever heard of that, but obviously, they don't know any better. What a sweet pair. ❤️

They weren’t born blind. I’m not sure why they had them surgically removed but it was probably due to infection. I believe they’ve had them out since they were around 2 months old. I got them when they were 4 months old and they’re turning 2 in July! It’s really all they know!

That's awesome. Disabled pets can be more work, and two of them was probably a bit much at times. But they look like a lot of fun!

Oh they were a LOT to handle when I first got them! Less about them being blind and more so them being kittens and doing things that kittens do (being up all night, eating my plants, potty issues). But I would do it all over again for them! They’ve calmed down a lot since growing up a bit

I wrongfully assumed plants would have been safe from blind kitties lol

Thank you so much for the kind words 🥰

That tracks. I help do TNR and I swear like 30% of the kittens I've seen have at least 1 eye infected. I'm glad you all have each other. 🥺😍
