On reflection I suppose it might have happened in another way: Her love of the outside combined with avoidence/refusal to wear a harness, a dark stormy night, wet decks and rogue seas. With no life jackjet on (the jacket count would show that she was not wearing one) her survival time in cold water would not be long. It is likely that a jacket would merely delay the inevitable. In the dark she would not be easily seen -even from the air. But back to hard reality, her rapid loss of sight left me with but one hard decision -I could not bear to see her unable to play or move freely so I chose a warm quiet end for her -rather that than the cruel unseen wheels of a car or cold, smothering embrace of the sea. MC Sorry to hear of your loss MC. Terry & I had to put Simone our little dog to sleep after having him for 20 + years. Something we should of done for him a few years earlier. Joe MSV RedCloud |

What an asshole! Do they kill people who go blind.
A cat has other senses than their eyes. You should have allowed her to live in the house where she would know her whereabouts by sound and smell. Instead you killed her and deprived her of many years of happiness. Do you know that time spent dreaming is just as real to a cat as time awake in the real world with eyes open? Did you not realize that your cat would not be blind in her dreams? After all, a blind cat doesn't even realize she is blind. It's not like that at all for a cat. The only thing she would have known is it got really dark during her waking hours and the sun doesn't seem to come out anymore. She'd have coped. She'd have spent more time sleeping and dreaming. You'd only have had to change your life just a little to assist her in living safely. Instead you wimped out of your obligations and killed her. You're despicable. Who gave you the right to play God? S.Simon - actually loves his cat and would never kill him simply because he went blind. "The_navigator©" wrote in message ... My lovely Minxy is gone and I miss her.

Lot's of cats who see perfectly well also get run over by cars.
A concerned owner would not let a blind cat play in the traffic. S.Simon "Donal" wrote in message ... "Simple Simon" wrote in message ... What an asshole!

There you go shooting off your mouth. You have no idea what was
happening to her -apart from the fact that she was going blind. FYI this was a 5 month old kitten -and a major factor in both the disease process and it's outcome. For an older cat, blindness would not be a major problem. This decision was not taken lightly and was taken with expert vetenary advice. Believe me, we loved her lots.
