She was a rescue kitten along with her mother who sadly had terrible illness and had to be put to sleep, Bubbles eyes where damaged in the womb and
when she was born her eyes opened full of puss, She seen fora little while for about 4-5 weeks but then her eyes took a turn for the worse, 4 weeks of
treatment and things looked like they where going to improve (this cost 100's of pounds) but then one night her eyes flared up and we rushed her
back to the Vet a 3am,
Sadly the next day they found that her eyes had gone beyond any more repair, we where faced with the choice of putting her to sleep to save her from a
life with no eyes,
I decided that i would not just throw away a blind child so i made my choice to give her the best life i could,
i kept her, Both eyes where removed,
It was a hard few weeks after that wondering if i had made the right choice, but things went from good to great!
she ran around! she learned the word Stop and Bump lol you only had to say it and she stopped in her tracks,
She amazed us! Climbed curtains, found her food bowl and water bowl no matter if we moved it,
she waited at the door for me and learned to walk around with me and climb up my leg when she got to lazy to walk,
As time when on you would never have even thought she was blind, she climbed up on shelves the lot! Everyone was amazed by her,
She coped great and we where so proud of her, and i 100% would do it all again,
Sadly bubbles aged 8 passed away just before xmas as she also had Cat Aids (F.I.V) and it caused her Kidneys to fail,
I miss her so much, xx
