This book will be of great help and comfort to owners of visually-impaired and blind cats. It is both highly informative and very practical, and the case studies give a real insight to the resilience of cats and their near unending ability to adapt to change (often being far better at it than their owners).

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about blindness in cats. The book is fantastic - really easy to read and packed with information including a useful glossary of veterinary terms. I've found it helpful in explaining more about my blind cat's eye problems and in advising me on how I can make life as easy as possible for her.
