My 13 YO female Turkish Van has been deaf for years (maybe her entire life... she only came to us 8 years ago). She has recently gone blind -- her eyes no longer dialate but are big and black with only the tiniest area of green at the bottom. It is TORTURE watching her bumping into things and we're doing everything we can to help her adjust, but I'm wondering if anyone has any secrets/advice for helping her. Her health isn't great-- she is in the early stages of kidney failure and we're dealing with that now too -- but she doesn't seem to be in any pain or suffering so putting her down is NOT an option. I'm doing the vet thing; I'm just wondering if there's advice from real people/cat lovers that might make my Starlight's life happier/easier.
Any help/advice/shared experiences would be appreciated!
