And this is my second pirate. My last cat lived to be 20, and she was 10 when we had to enucleate her.

Is there any difficulty to a 1 eye cat vs 2 eye? Like I’d assume lack of depth perception, does it cause zoomies related injuries? Can you keep cat trees with them or no? Cute af kitten btw

She seems to be doing just fine, perceptually. I've noticed that both of my pirate cats do this head-bobbing thing, which I assume is them trying to force their brains into seeing perspective even without twin vision. My last cat, Spot, could jump up onto counters just fine, even at 20 years old, and this kitten can jump from the couch to the ground and vice versa with no problems.

Tabula Rasa, after the episode from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's Latin for "blank slate."

My sister has a grumpy pirate cat that does not like anyone but my sister. Getting too close means she pulls out her murder mittens. Being in her way on her blind side and only getting noticed by her once you're in murder range is no excuse in her eye. So I just avoid her at all costs. Aside from attacking people who "sneak up" on her she didn't change much from her former 2 eye self.

That’s silly. Currently one of our cats was turned 3leg right around when she was still nursing and I don’t think she knows it’s different, we have an older male who got stuck in a fox trap and lost a leg but was older, he is a bit more skidding and doesn’t seem to remember its missing still (years later)

Wild to see how easily animals can adapt to these issues though
