A p with blindness can live a good quality of life with an owner that understands that furniture shouldn’t be moved, food, water, litterbox should be easily reached and steps should be avoided. Ideally the cat would be seen by an ophthalmologist to definitively diagnose the eyes, and perform appropriate tests. Very nice cat.
