Finn has also been a busy boy! Last week on April 16, Finn saw the eye doctor in Massachusetts. She examined his eyes and determined that his blindness is complete and irreversible. While it is impossible to know the exact cause, she agrees that it is most likely a result of a vitamin deficiency and malnutrition. Finn is not fond of riding in a car and the trip was over an hour each way. I tried a soft carrier this time and he was much happier. Last Friday Finn went to the vet who treated him and had his neuter surgery. He is recovered now and doing fine. All the vets feel that he is ready to go to a quiet stable home with no dogs.
Today I decided to let Finn meet Fred, our buff colored guy. Finn had already met Fred's sister, Ginger. Fred entered the room with a great deal of interest. He settled down about 3 feet from Finn. Although Finn could not see him, he knew Fred was there. Finn stared in the direction of Fred and did a few "slow blinks". Fred then started to explore the area around Finn. He sniffed at Finn's bed and condo, used Finn's litter box, ate a little of Finn's food and finally sniffed at Finn. Finn was fine with all of this - just sat quietly. When my husband took Fred out, our other cat, Meko, was right outside the door. She did not enter the room, but Finn sat right up and hissed at her. For some reason, he is fine with Fred and Ginger, but really becomes defensive around Meko.
Check out Fred and Finn's first meeting today on the video!
Thank you for all your interest and support - I will keep you all updated on Finn's journey to his new home.
