Is My Cat Going Blind? Here’s What I Noticed
Last week, my usually fearless cat started bumping into the coffee table. At first, I thought he was just being dramatic (as cats do), but then he missed his jump onto the couch—twice. He’s suddenly clingy, follows me everywhere, and meows way more than usual.
I checked his eyes: his pupils barely react to light, and one looks cloudy. I tried the classic “menace reflex” test—waving my hand near his face. Nothing. He just sat there, totally unbothered.
After a quick panic-Google, I realized these are classic signs of vision loss. Vet visit is booked, but in the meantime, I’m keeping his food bowls and litter box in the same spot, and warning everyone not to startle him. If your cat’s acting weird, don’t ignore it—early treatment can help!
Anyone else have a cat who lost their sight? How did you help them adjust?
