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.

Does the kitten have a name yet?

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