The Cat Has Cataracts

Our cat is old enough that she has developed cataracts.

She's now sixteen. We've had her for eleven years; she was five when she adopted us at a local animal shelter.

The cataracts are now so bad that she has trouble seeing, even treats placed a couple inches away. Interestingly, she was supposed to take care of my better half in a new city (which she has lovingly done), but now my better half is taking care of her as she adjusts to her poor eyesight. Life indeed abounds with ironies.

And I thought pets had it easy.
