I think thats because stray cats have a different body language or a better understanding of body language. Not understanding what another cat wants to tell you can be fatal on the streets, so strays learn to communicate better than breeder cats or cats who grow up with humans, because they use other cues to communicate with us that might seem aggressive to a feral or stray cat. So I just think that Poki is able to understand her better and communicates on a level that she can understand. In the end trust is always achieved in understanding each other :)

I'm not a vet, but as to whether Pichi is blind or not, the fact that her pupil was wide throughout this whole video while your other cats' eyes were slitted (as is normal in a well-lit area) implies she cannot see or differentiate light very well. She might not be /totally/ blind, but her eye is certainly reacting as though she's constantly in the dark.

I’m not a vet, but I work at a vet clinic - Medically, Consistently large pupils can also be an indication of hypothyroidism in cats. Hypertension can also cause blindness, and thus permanently dilated pupils. If your cats pupils are *always* large, even during the day or when they are relaxed, you should consider taking your cat to the vet and doing some blood work, check blood pressure, and check the eyes. Hypothyroidism is common, and can be sneaky!

As someone who has had a fully blind cat that got progressively blind, no, Pichi is not fully blind. She's probably "legally" blind though, where she sees lights and shadows in very indistinct blobs, which is more than enough for cats to live their life normally. My cat Salem used to be like that, unfortunately with age, he completely lost his eyesight and was not able to climb confidently anymore. You could tell because he would use his paws and whiskers almost like a cane, to estimate the distance between steps, height, etc. It seems like he was also losing his sense of smell and hearing towards the end too, so that didn't help, but yeah I don't think Pichi is too bad eyesight wise ! She's clearly very active and confident, I hope her eye stays stable :)

@_Fizel_

2 жыл бұрын

Yeah this is what I came down to say. You can tell when a cat is fully blind. Watching Pichi confidently leap to above the stove, you can easily tell she isn't. Our boy Pumpkin also went fully blind, though his was because of an infection. He never truly got off the ground after that. He would hop onto the couch because he could reach up and feel it, then onto the shelves behind it because he could also touch them. He couldn't use the towers anymore because they were just out of his reach.

Just speculation, of course, haven't seen enough to properly say.

I have an abdominal meower aswell. The funny part about it is that he's deaf, so he doesn't know how lowd he's screaming. He just knows that we react to him when he makes a noise without him even knowing he's making any noise at all (which is super impressive in my opinion). This also very often causes him to think he's meowing, when he's actually letting out a little squeak or not making any noise. It's adorable and we love him so much for it :)

Pichi's eyes did change, but not at all as much as one would expect. That suggests to me that she has some vision, but probably very poor. I don't know for sure, of course, but it seems likely to me.

My British Bombay, Tia (15) has been in perfect health her entire life until just recently. I was petting her one evening and felt a cartlidge-type growth on her upper hind leg near her tail. I could feel a tentacle like growth extending from it. My heart sank immediately and my blood ran cold. I knew it wasn't good because of that tentacle, hat it was probably cancerous. It was. My vet told me that 90% of bumps on cats are never good unlike dogs where it's 50/50. Tia had a fibroid sarcoma that was vaccine-related. She had had the Purevax rabies vaccine, considered the safest, every year without any problem. They don't know why it can suddenly develop years later, but she had her vaccine shot in February and I discovered the growth in early April. My vet is very proactive and believes in taking out tumors right away in cats - and taking a wide margin with it. He doesn't wait for the results to come back from a lab to determine whether or not it's cancerous. He says "We can find that out later. When I see a bump in a cat, I remove it asap. If it is benign, no harm done. If it's malignant, then we got it as soon as we could." He's' almost my age and I'm 70. His wife is a vet also. He is very warm and exudes kindness. I call him the Mister Rogers of Vets. Tia couldn't have a better vet. Good luck with Poki. ❤

@@cynoglav9665 Thank you. Yes, fibroidsarcoma is a very aggressive type of cancer so I must remain vigilant for any new bumps/growths. I check Tia daily whenever I'm petting her or brushing her. If I feel anything at all, I will be at the vet's office immediately. So far so good, but we're only at the 5 month mark since her tumor excision. Fibroidsarcomas are so aggressive that they will frequently return after a period of 6-12 months after a tumor has been excised. You REALLY have to remain vigilant. Tia goes to the vet every 4 to 6 weeks to have her anal glands drained and I have her vet give her a thorough going over to see if he feels anything that shouldn't be there. I've had Tia for 15 years now, since she was 6 months old, and am very attuned to her little moods and how she normally behaves; so I am being very watchful day-to-day for any changes in her behavior. In general, she's an extremely chill, laid-back cat .What I want cat owners to know is, if you feel a bump on your cat, don't wait to get it checked out. Run don't walk to your vet because most bumps in cats are cancerous, over 90%. Dogs are different. He said bumps in dogs are around 50/50 malignant. Thank you for asking about Tia. It was very kind of you. She is my little love and best friend. I'm getting emotional just typing this because I can't imagine my life without her in it. She is so devoted and loves me so much. She has stood by my side whenever I've been sick, such as pneumonia, and when I had an emergency double hysterectomy and appendectomy when a large but benign ovarian tumor almost killed me in 2009. "Nursecat Tia" only left my bed to eat her food and use the litter box. She literally lay by my side for 2 weeks watching over me like my feline guardian angel. She would follow me to the bathroom and lay her head on my feet when I was on the toilet. She was afraid to leave me alone whatsoever. I am her person and she was standing guard over me. She has a very nice fluffy, expensive marshmallow bed to sleep in, but she prefers to sleep next to me at night with her head resting in the curve of my arm. I have had many pets (all rescues) in my life, I loved them all, but Tia is an exceptionally sensitive, devoted companion. 🐱💖

I have a half blind cat who only sees differences in light, and his eye acts exactly like Pichi’s.

I love the 2 orange boys are like pals and the two street kids are besties. SO CUTE.

Many blind cats can seem like they have eyesight, thanks to all their other senses. I've seen some cats who were born blind, but still moved and acted just like any other cat. Pichi may not be completely blind (maybe she still can make out shapes, figures, movement etc.), but it's likely her eyesight isn't great.

About the invisible fleas problem, it can happen when you have rodents living in the walls of your building. A few years back we had a cat that got intestinal parasites from the feces of mice we didn't even know were there. We were really confused as to how he caught those parasites, as he we had adopted him from a shelter that did full workups, and even then he developed symptoms like a year later. He never went outside or ate anything other than his store-bought food or tiny human-grade nibbles. The mice were really discreet and left their feces in a spot that only the cat was able to reach (a gap in the counter adjacent to the dishwasher that inexplicably attracted food debris like dry pasta and rice, and which I often tried to vacuum and clean with limited success). It didn't smell, either, because there was only a couple and I guess the cat scared them into not leaving too many trails. Not too long after the parasite incident we saw one coming out of the gap and called the exterminator. And we understood why our cat was obsessed by that spot. So I would start suspecting that if the problems persists even after treating the cats.

I think Pichi does have some vision issues looking at her behaviour sometimes, but I think it most likely she can still see light and shapes so she's not completely unable to figure out where things are

Pichi's whiskers probably help a lot as whiskers feel the vibrations in the air. She seems like she does have vision but probably reduced vision at distances than what cats have already (compared to humans).

When you said "Hey, your girlfriend's coming" Poki probably meowed to let Pichi know where he is since she can't see well and that is probably one of the cutest things ever

I love how Jun says "margins" when you were talking about Poki's mast cell tumor. His english IS really good.

Flea allergy dermatitis would make sense for the symptoms Haku was having, those little buggers are a pain, even sometimes when you treat them regularly (especially with long fur, they are sooo good at hiding). I'm sure you're coordinating with the vet, but it could be a situation where switching to a different flea product may help. Also I can't get over how adorable Poki and Pichi are together 💙 So glad to see both of them doing so well after all they've been through!

Poki and Pichi hanging out together is the cutest thing in the world. The two luckiest cats ever.

Noticed Pichi didn't react at all to the sudden change in brightness in the room while Poki did blink in 13:22 . Her pupils also seem always fully dilated most of the time based on this video. It's interesting because aside from the fact that she's able to play with the cat toys, she's also able to maneuver around obstacles in 10:12 just fine! Maybe she really is like Daredevil!

Poki: *is quiet, with no appetite* Time and Space: *C O L L A P S E S*

When they moved Poki away from the food on the counter he's like "But I hacked the system fair and square!"

10:14 On a few of her steps, Pichi seems unsure of her footing, you can even see her paw shake a bit before she sets it down. I had a cat with vision problems once and she sometimes did this. This isn't conclusive, but added onto 13:25 when Pichi's eye doesn't really react when you turn on the light, but Poki's eyes do, and that her eye seems to be permanently dilated quite wide throughout the video, she most likely has very weak vision remaining in the eye. It's better than no vision of course, but my guess is that it's very dark and she can just make out basic shapes and movements.

That paw shake is just like my cat does, but he can see very well. He's just very careful of where he puts his paws, because I used to tell him off for getting on the table. Unfortunately he now considers everything that's up as "the table". I also got mad when he pushed things off, so now he'll do anything to not make things fall. This makes him put down his paws sooo slowly and carefully, shaking sometimes and touching lifting touching, often balancing on three legs. Didn't realize he was so sensitive before, now I forgive his clumsiness, but he hasn't forgotten. It's been three years, he's four now, and completely over his wild years, it was just a phase, but I didn't know... I'm really sorry. I tell him all the time it's okay, pets, encouragement, but he's just very careful most of the time. At least on the floor he can play and run. If you can, learn from my mistakes. 😽

Those are Poki's heels actually, not his knees.

It is SO awesome to see Pichi playing and being close with everyone! She's settled in so well!

As a blind person, technically a legally blind person, meeting my vision is under 20/200(mine is 400 and one in the other eye) I feel uniquely qualified to explain how sense compensation works in blind people. Obviously, although we wish we could do this, our senses are not like daredevils. All we do is learn how to get information from the other senses, which is something that sighted people can't usually do, because they put way too much faith in their site. It's quite amusing what you guys can't do without vision. Anyway, you guys could do it too if you took the time to practice. We also assume things a lot. We're taught, for example, if the TV is on, odds are somebody's watching it, and you could, if you want to, go watch it with them. We get really good at statistical probability. Does it mean we're always right, but, for the most part, most of us learn, a equals B, and therefore C, or most likely C. I doubt that cats and other animals can do the letter of that, but their senses still compensate, and I still learn to pay more attention to their other senses once they have lost their site, or if they were born blind. My sister's dog recently did this. She's a lot more confident in her own home, obviously, but she knows where her bowl is, she knows where her the couch is. Actually, she knows how to get around very similar to how I do it. For instance, there is a rug from the stairs in the garage leading into the house, to the outside, and she knows, when she's found that rug, follow it to get back inside. She also has basically the whole house and yard mapped out, so she doesn't get lost. Not sure how much vision Pichi has, but she's definitely doing these things, and using the vision that she does have, as I do. Hope this helps. Glad your cats are all feeling better.

I’m legally blind, also (20/400 in worse eye) and I can vouch. When a sense is limited, you work around it. I memorize things a lot. So, if there’s construction near my doctor’s office or my software updates and buttons move, I have to start over and build new pathways. If Pichi is in this house with minimal changes, she’s probably memorized a lot, too.
