We just got in a sweet little black cat that was so traumatized by the blast of freezing arctic air that hit us last week that I actually thought he was BLIND!
He did not move when I opened his cage.
He did not react when I put his food down.
He did not even notice when I took his picture.
From the looks of his eyes, I began to think he couldn't see us.
After about three days, he finally seemed to snap out of whatever state he was in – I think he was just overwhelmed to be out of the cold – and he began talking and actually demanding to be pet.
By the fourth day, we were picking him up and holding him, and he was wolfing down whole cans of food.
It turns out his eyes may have been the result of damage from the severe cold weather mixed with an eye infection.
So he's going to stay with us for a few more days to heal up and get his eyes back in working order and then be put up for adoption because he's a mush!
Here are a few extra pics of the sweet boy.
No more cold nights for this little man!
