@holly @jackiethedunn I had a blind cat, not kitten, but def. these: (1) predictable landing spots off heights (like counters); (2) no items on the floor that are not always there; (3) they can learn to echolocate if you tap on things as they move; (4) always approach with sounds

@jackiethedunn Any tips you have would be very gratefully received! I've had a blind bird and a visually impaired cat, but not a blind cat

I'm sorry I haven't been tweeting much, it's not because I think Twitter is dead! I'm going nowhere. It's because it's a bit chaotic here. 10 feral kittens arrive this evening, blind kitten on Saturday. Snowflake went to her new home on Sunday, new keeper is delighted ❤️

Phenomenal. Bar-tailed Godwit has broken its own record: a first-year bird (five months old!) has flown 13,560 km—just shy of the direct flight limit of a Boeing 787—from Alaska to Tasmania, seemingly non-stop, in just 11 days (avg. speed: c.51 km/hr). facebook.com/43794949621875…

An incredible spectacle of Semipalmated Sandpipers in the Bay of Fundy!! Our @EagleEyeTours crew enjoyed this amazing show at Johnson Mills yesterday - a great start to our New Brunswick tour. #OffTheRock #NatureRocks #EagleEyeTours #Migration #KowaOptics

If you think abuse is "very rare" in academia then this most likely means none of the students trust you enough to tell you about it.

@LeslieAnnHorgan I am shocked by this (but will def try next time)😆A question though - you dip the buttered biscuits in your tea, or no?🫣

We’ve all had two Rich Tea biscuits buttered and sandwiched together right? It’s my husband (shocked by this suggestion) who had the unusual childhood…. right??
