Does it sound like this cat has gone blind?

That's a rather wicked thought, but very funny.

that makes sense

The vision issue is more of a curiousity. It doesn't seem to affect her life much. I don't think cats need vision the same way we do. It doesn't seem as they recognize things visiually even with good vision. Like they know food by the sound of a bag or can or the smell. I have put treats down where they can see and even young cats sometimes need it in front of their nose. It's not like they see the food and recognize it as food.

I have a six-year-old cat that's been blind from birth. She gets around pretty well, and I've moved twice with her. It didn't take too long for her to figure out her way around new surroundings.

I just try not to surprise her with my presence; for example, I wiggle my fingers in front of her face before I pet her head so that she knows I'm there (and doesn't take a chomp out of my hand as a natural reaction).

I also watched her catch and eat a moth once, just by the sound of its wings, I guess.
