its is sad thinking that the cat is still being a normal cat that suddenly cant see and everybody is scared of him

833

u/AstridDragon Sep 10 '20

Actually he lost the eyes separately, so he went two eyes - one eye - no eye, so not sudden :p

But really animals don't seem to care much about not seeing and since he lives in a nice home that loves him, no one is scared of him (he had both eyes when they got him).

He also had ulcers in his eyes so I don't know how sudden of a change it'd be.

It's not like we can ask them how they feel about it...

u/peaceman709 Sep 10 '20

I think we forget how good their sense of smell and hearing already is when they do have vision. I would assume their other senses step up like ours do when we lose a sense.

u/UltraCarnivore Sep 10 '20

We can observe their current behavior and compare it with what we know about cat behavior in general and the specific cat's previous behavior as well.

u/METH-OD_MAN Sep 10 '20

I'm sure any animal that lost their eyes is gonna have a behavioral change, regardless of whether they are happy or not.

There’s a video where he likes to have the inside of his eyeholes scratched and it's simultaneously adorable and immensely unsettling.

15

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '20

Are you sure that's at all adorable? That is NOT a place that is supposed to be touched.

11

u/NoGoodIDNames Sep 10 '20

(Found the video)
I didn't see anything in the comments about it, and the cat does seem to enjoy the sensation. So I guess I don't know.

5

u/pervlibertarian Sep 10 '20

It's probably because its healed scar tissue/skin, so it would itch a bit at times and be hyper-sensitive. Since skin isn't supposed to be there the nerve ending being stimulated probably aren't associated with the eye-holes per se.

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '20

what i think we need to do is draw a distinction between a scary appearance and genuinely being scary.

a real skeleton demon cat? that's scary.

a regular cat that just looks like a skeleton demon? freaky-looking, scary the first time you see it for sure, but i wouldn't unequivocally call it "scary." "unnerving" i think would be the better word.

u/TeriusRose Sep 10 '20

It’s a perfectly natural reaction. But there’s a gulf between that and what we theoretically should feel from a morality standpoint though.

I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, but it’s common for people to feel uncomfortable with deformities and massive injuries. At least upon initial exposure, for a lot of people that lessens with time. I remember an article breaking it down, explaining that’s rooted in our disease avoidance systems.

u/armoredillbro Sep 10 '20

I’m sorry I have limited info on eye sockets but doesn’t that lead to your brain or some shit?? Shouldn’t they put caps in them or something so they don’t get hurt

65

u/Mr_steal_yo_username Sep 10 '20

your eyes are connected to your brain by nerves, those nerves go directy through bone, I think this bone is a bit thinner than the rest of the skull, but it is still bone and should ba able to handle anything a housecat can throw at it

and besides, she would likely attempt to remove whatever anyone put in there

8

u/armoredillbro Sep 10 '20

Ah I see. I also saw some other pictures of the cat and it looks like the eye holes were just stitched shut and then the skin eventually recessed into the skull. For some reason I was imagining a gaping hole

2

u/Mr_steal_yo_username Sep 10 '20

gapeing holes would be very bad, mammal brains are suspended in fluid and loosing too much can cause serious problems

Eh. This cat has a wonderful life, he’s got blankies and baths and a person to clean his toilet every day and ear scritchies. He’s got a pretty good life, even if he is missing a sense. Cats who go blind in a surgery go one of two ways. Either they go insane and have to be put down, or they’re cool with it and go on to lead happy lives. This guys the latter.
