Disabled animals come in all shapes and sizes. The people who offer them homes are a rare breed of caring and compassionate humans. Such is the case with a sad, blind cat named Archie. His owner makes candles and wax melts, so her office workspace is a no-cat zone. Archie is a lap cat, and Mom is his favorite lap. It saddened her to lock him out, so she devised a workable solution to allow him to be closer to her. The solution is currently only temporary.
In addition to candles and wax melts, Archie’s Mom also sells clothing. Although she can never guarantee that it is cat-hair-free, she does try. Watching Archie try to get through the gate daily was breaking her heart. Her solution was rather genius.
Archie’s mom built a tunnel from the gate to the center of the room using readily available items from Amazon and other retailers. At the end of the tunnel, a small tent with blankets and comfy spots for Archie to rest is set up. The tent is small and crowded when JoJo, the cat, visits. JoJo is a bit on the chonky side. Not to worry, upgrades are probably on the way.
If Archie, the blind cat, hasn’t melted your heart yet, check him out playing with a foster brother.
Even though he can’t see, the blind cat uses his other senses to “see” his foster brother. The first two pounces missed, but that third one was on target! Having disabled cats can be a very rewarding experience. If you want a blind cat or one with a different disability, please inquire at a local shelter or fostering service. Please share this tail with your friends.
