Blind Options

[Gothic Gregg]

Has anyone noticed that blind animals ( I have a blind cat) can find their way around quite perfectly? This is quite strange, as their brains are alot smaller than humans. Anyone got any other views?

Quite probably. Especially cats and dogs, as they use smell to do most things anyway.

It depends on how long they have been blind for, and where they go. How far from your house does the cat go (does it leave the house?)?

I would assume that if you has been blind all your life/from very early in life, you would get better at moving about than somone who was blinded when they were used to seeing.

And my second point - after a bit of practice, you could probably move around you own home with no sight. Sure, you may bump into things a bit, but after a good while of practicing, you could do it.
