We.ve just taken in a very small little kittie at the rescue and her owners said she was a dirty cat, messing and weeing all over the house,when she arrived we noticed she walked very oddly and seemed to hesitate a lot,we took her to the vets who could find no sign of anything wrong,apart from the fact that her ears were absolutely gunged up with ear mites ,so bad she was almost deaf,after cleaning them out and treating her we began to observe her closely and discovered that she is almost blind,her eyes look normal but any sudden movements in front of her got no reaction,the vet says she may be able to make out shadows, we have since found out that her owners lived in a 1st floor flat and didnt have cat trays for her they used to put her outside to toilet, which meant she had to negociate 2 flights of stairs to get outside and then find her way back in,so she was almost blind and practically deaf because of the ear mites and gunge and then they say she was dirty >:(what the hell do they expect.She is the sweetest little kitty but so scared now
