Bandit is *totally* blind, but that hasn't effected her domination of the
universe! It'sboth sad and funny to see her hissing and swiping at thin air
when she thinks someone is getting in her face. She still likes to play (if
you can call mauling my hands while I make the bed "play"), has a fantastic
appetite, can still find her litterbox, and purrs up a storm when getting
skritching (or even just having any part of her body touching any part of
mine).
So.... I created a carpeted ramp that lets her walk up and down on and off
my bed and she seems perfectly content with her life. Here are some
pictures I took of her this morning - I wasn't going to post them since she
couldn't be bothered to look up from her snooze (I didn't make my bed this
morning because I was going to get back into it, but she confiscated my
pillow) - but since you asked! ;> There's also a picture of the ram I
created (my bed is really high and the ramps they sell aren't high enough -
with her being link I didn't want her to have to take a "leap of faith" but
be able to feel the ramp from the bed, plus she has arthritis and I didn't
want her jarring her old bones (she's 16.5 yo now) by jumping down.

I am glad that Bandit is still not taking any guff from anyone, and not
lifting her head if she doesn't FRIGGING FEEL LIKE IT!
That ramp is wonderful. I'm sure it means a lot to Bandit that she
doesn't have to admit weakness or be denied her snoozing spots.
