OH NOOO, a new cat in town

Image
 On October 20 in 2018, life took a wrong turn - according to our cat Felix. We got another cat: Lisa, also called The Bear. Lisa is blind, one eye is now completely missing, the other does not work. She came from the cat place near my former office. In this photo she is still confined to her quarters. However, after a few days we started letting her roam freely around our flat. It works well, she has quickly memorized the location of most things and has developed a "flexible bumping" technique to avoid getting hurt.  The remains of the missing eye are still visible in this photo. She was a lap-top kitten in her early days - she doesn't do that anymore. She likes to sunbathe.

Little Lisa is a blind kitten (beware: difficult-to-look-at photos)

  Lisa, 3 months old (October 2018) Lisa's mother   Lisa is born in July 2018, together with 4 other sisters/brothers. The mother was hiding them immediately after the birth and I didn't see them for about 6 weeks. It was very hot this year and I already thought they were dead. But after the staggering heat was over, mama cat brought out her new kids. It was clearly visible that this time there were lots of troubles, only one of them was fully healthy and all of the others had eye problems - especially Lisa. The photos below show how she looked end of August/beginning of September. I quickly found out that she was fully blind. And therefore never had enough food to eat. I started feeding her with food and water. When I visited the place to feed the other cats there, she always came to get her meal and I also realized that she liked to be caressed. I grew fond of her and last week I decided that it was time to act. I brought her to the vet for a several-days stay and a make-ove...

So hungry!
