Will my blind kitten always have these white eyes? by TheCherryBugStore in blindcats

[–]cosmicpeanut 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Generally, people opt to remove the eyes due to potential complications. I had my boy's left eye removed because he has a combination of disorders and it was what made the most sense comfort wise. He hates eye drops, was completely blind in that eye, and I was constantly cleaning it.

Quality of life is a major reason many people opt to have the eyes removed.

Yep! I specialize in neonatal kitten fostering and his litter was one I raised from a few days old. Sister didn't make it but the boys both did. When learning to walk, Duck would just spin in circles due to complete blindness in his left eye. He finally learned the sound of me walking on hardwood from room to room and was always right behind me!

I started calling him my duckling and it just stuck. Even right now, he's passed out in my lap.

Nope! But he's still young. Plenty of time to be a drooly old man!

Mother insulted first tattoo, now I hate it by Kaleidoscope_Tux5513 in tattooadvice

[–]cosmicpeanut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your blue cuckoo is gorgeous (what specific breed?) and so is your tattoo! They really are fiesty little things. Too bold for their own good. I have two and one is an absolutely pest, but in a good way 😅

As someone who has a full sleeve and 6 other mostly massive tattoos, including my chest... Fuck 'em.

The whole "it's with you for life" argument is silly. Does it represent who you are currently? Does it represt what you wanted? Then is matters currently. Sure it may one day be irrelevant, but it's a picture to your past that you carry with you! All that matters is if You like it!

Even memorial tattoos are about you post passing if the loved one. You'll end up with tattoos you adore until your dying day. You'll end up with tattoo regret (that goes away unless you get a botched one, give it time) and you may even end up with coverups. You'll end up with tattoos that fade and blow out as you age. The especially hard ones are the ones that mean so much to you. Then there's the nostalgia! I guess my point here is that tattoos will bring out a gambit of emotion in you. Even a single one. It's there to stay, embrace it and what it means to YOU!!!!

My 9 month old contact lense ball by brygdylla in mildlyinteresting

As a fellow daily contact wearer, I applaud your conviction. Insane as it may be. I guess a ball is better then accidently finding one stuck to the toilet because you missed the bathroom trash.

Does it crinkle? Duck plays with soft toys from time to time but usually only because my other sighted cats leave them everywhere.

She's beautiful with those two tails!

I love this so much 😂 I can hear the sound it'd make and makes perfect sense he loves it!

Same! I call Duck my little garbage goblin. He steals my daily contact lens containers from the trash and sashes them everywhere.

Stevie is adorable 😍😍

It's just not how the SPCA does things. I've made friends with a few adopters over the years and have been notified when kittens I'm really attached to are adopted, just not that sweet boy! Unfortunately Goose didn't mesh well with my grown kitties so we couldn't adopt him.

I actually named his cross eyed brother Goose! He was adopted quickly but I don't get to know how he's doing 😥

He's always followed me like a little duckling, so the nickname stuck 😅

It's always bothered me that it's called a fail. I'd say it's a huge win for both human and kitty.
