I have three cats. One is very elderly, and blind, and, I think, fairly deaf - I'm not sure she can smell very well, sometimes she has trouble finding her food bowl even if we put her down a foot away from it - she is also very small, very light, very thin, people always assume she is a kitten (rather than thirteen or fourteen or however old) and she has gotten into the habit of walking into rooms or out of rooms to areas she suspects to contain people, and yowling, horribly loudly, like a siren, until someone speaks to/at her - it somehow strikes directly at your irritation centre, and usually we snap at her with a "Morrígan, be quiet!" because it's every day, multiple times, and often very late in the night or very early in the morning.
Anyway, right now she has curled up on my lap and is sleeping, occasionally moving to be more comfortable, and she is so quiet and peaceful and sweet, I can't imagine ever being cross at her. She's so small and trusting and loving - there is nowhere in the world she would rather be than right here, with a family member, feeling safe. (The blindness means she gets scared on the floor, in the open, but scared to climb on things in case she falls down.)
She doesn't wear a collar (when she was younger, she'd just scratch/tug it off) so is 100% a soft furball, with short hair - I think she's a grey Abyssinian? But probably crossed with something, she looks smaller and less angular than google images suggests.
Cool story Ash.
His name is Roux. He's about seven and a half weeks old.
