Boo Boo, the Cat of the Day
Name: Boo Boo
Age: Five years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Himalayan
Home: Wake Village, Texas, USA
 
   This is Boo Boo. He is a five-year-old Himalayan and he is blind. He was a Christmas gift from my husband. He has been blind since he adopted us as a kitten. His name was Smokey when we got him from a breeder. We did not know that he was blind when we got him, so when he started running into walls and acted scared and confused we started calling him 'Boo Boo' and then we took him to the vet to see why he was so clumsy. Three local veterinarians diagnosed him as totally blind and said there wasn't anything we could do but help him adjust - and don't rearrange the furniture.

    He gets around really well, he learned so fast his way around and where all the furniture is. It's amazing how smart he is! I believe there was a reason why he adopted us. I did not get him to breed, which is why most people get pure breeds, I just love all breeds as pets. I don't think that anyone else would have accepted him and love him the way I do.

    He has many brothers and sisters of all ages and breeds and they seem to know that he is special. He is very loving and I am so lucky that he is a part of my family.
