Simon
is special because we adopted him from Friends of Felines in
Tulsa. Shortly after we rescued him, we noticed his sight deteriorating.
After a check-up, we learned Simon is blind because of macular
degeneration. It's a miracle we found each other and now he has a safe,
loving home. You would never know he's blind, as he bounds around as if
not to have a care in the world, jumping and leaping onto everything ...
motor constantly running, of course.
Simon's personality is very peculiar. He wags and pounds his tail as if
he were a dog. And his favorite game is hiding from us and then popping
out as if to say, "Surprise!" He also loves racing my husband James up
the stairs to see who arrives at the top first.
Bedtime is Simon's favorite "sport". It's forever a test for him to see
how much of my pillow he can actually negotiate. Once he lays claim to
it, he will not budge, and of course I don't make him move. I don't want
to hurt his kitty feelings : )
Simon is one of the most affectionate cats I've ever known. I often wake
up to my face and eyebrows being groomed. I'm still not sure whether
this is because he's telling me, "Good morning", or if he's just
hurrying me along so he can take over my warm spot in the bed...
Simon really is a great cat!
