Often cats\nexperience trauma or injury that makes them blind. While caring for a blind cat\ntakes a little extra effort, loving them does not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats have an extremely strong sense of smell and hearing. In fact, cats can hear up to <a href=\"https:\/\/iheartcats.com\/how-do-your-cats-five-senses-compare-to-your-own\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">100,000 hertz<\/a> and have 200 million odor sensitive cells in their nostrils. To put that into context, humans can only hear 20,000 hertz and have five million odor sensitive cells in our nostrils. These two senses can compensate for the lack of sight in your cat, who actually won\u2019t realize he or she is blind. They just think they\u2019re a regular cat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are ready to welcome a blind cat into your home, you may feel a bit overwhelmed. But &#8211; don\u2019t be. By following the steps outlined in this article, your home and heart will be ready to take in your new blind kitty and give him or her the best life possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/omurden-cengiz-DYzOcHYQnuY-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/omurden-cengiz-DYzOcHYQnuY-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/omurden-cengiz-DYzOcHYQnuY-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/omurden-cengiz-DYzOcHYQnuY-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/omurden-cengiz-DYzOcHYQnuY-unsplash-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/omurden-cengiz-DYzOcHYQnuY-unsplash-113x75.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/omurden-cengiz-DYzOcHYQnuY-unsplash-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/omurden-cengiz-DYzOcHYQnuY-unsplash-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/omurden-cengiz-DYzOcHYQnuY-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: \u00d6m\u00fcrden Cengiz via Unsplash<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10 Steps to prepare for a lovable blind cat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are ready to bring your lovable blind cat home, follow these steps: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Keep them as an indoor cat <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Blind cats need to\nremain indoor cats. Even if they have\ntheir claws, they will not be able to protect themselves outside alone, especially\nif they have health issues. They are also likely to\nbecome disoriented and confused. Blind cats can be taken outside, but they need\nto be supervised. Try walking them on a leash or purchasing a catio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Help them get acclimated to your home <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you bring home a\nblind cat, you need to give them time to get acclimated. Yes, they can hear and\nsmell their new space, but they will need time to learn the layout of your\nhome. This may take days or weeks. Remember to constantly show your cat where\ntheir litter box, beds, and other items are located. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Don\u2019t move things around too much <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can move your furniture if you have a blind cat. Just don\u2019t move it too much, especially at the beginning of their time in your home. Make sure that they are completely oriented in your house before you move anything. And, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/allaboutcats.com\/cat-peeing-outside-litter-box\" target=\"_blank\">never move their litter boxes<\/a> or other important items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/marija-zaric-UWKC4K_s47M-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/marija-zaric-UWKC4K_s47M-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/marija-zaric-UWKC4K_s47M-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/marija-zaric-UWKC4K_s47M-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/marija-zaric-UWKC4K_s47M-unsplash-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/marija-zaric-UWKC4K_s47M-unsplash-113x75.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/marija-zaric-UWKC4K_s47M-unsplash-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/marija-zaric-UWKC4K_s47M-unsplash-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/marija-zaric-UWKC4K_s47M-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: Marija Zaric via Unsplash<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Clean your home often <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleaning actually helps\nyour blind cat more than you might think. Regular cleaning will cut down on\nsmells, which can disorient your cat. Plus, regular cleaning ensures your house\nstays decluttered. This removes dangerous places for your cat to hide or get\nlost in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Cat-proof your home <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Blind cats need more\nsupervision even in your home. You will want to block off any staircases and\nkeep the toilet\u2019s lid down. Approach cat-proofing as you would baby-proofing.\nRemove as many dangers that your cat will not be able to see as possible. This\nis a crucial step as it ensures the safety of your cat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Make noise to let your cat know where you are <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All cats startle easily. If your cat cannot see or hear you coming, they are likely to be very frightened. When you have a blind cat in your home, you must make noise. You don\u2019t have to yell all the time, but you do want them to know where you are at all times, especially if you are approaching them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/manki-kim-0xVDp-xebJk-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/manki-kim-0xVDp-xebJk-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/manki-kim-0xVDp-xebJk-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/manki-kim-0xVDp-xebJk-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/manki-kim-0xVDp-xebJk-unsplash-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/manki-kim-0xVDp-xebJk-unsplash-113x75.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/manki-kim-0xVDp-xebJk-unsplash-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/manki-kim-0xVDp-xebJk-unsplash-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/manki-kim-0xVDp-xebJk-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: Manki Kim via Unsplash<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Always make sure they stay oriented in your home <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many cats are\ncuddle-bugs that love to be picked up. You can still pick up a blind cat and\ncarry them around. You will need to put them down in a location they can\nidentify. If you take them to another room, put them in their litter box or\nbed. This will help your cat stay oriented throughout your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Keep their environment small until they get comfortable <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an important step for all cats. Cats don\u2019t like change. The pet experts at <a href=\"https:\/\/theidlecat.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">The Idle Cat<\/a> advise that when you first introduce them to a new space, keep it small. \u201c<em>If you have a large house, just allow your blind cat in one or two rooms to begin with. As they start to understand the layout of those rooms, they will be much more curious and comfortable about scouting out the rest of your home.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Get rid of pests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to do regular sanitization of both the special spot of your cat and the property itself. Carry regular checks for any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantasticpestcontrol.co.uk\/fleas\/signs-of-fleas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">signs of fleas<\/a> both on your cat and the areas it visits the most.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Give them lots of love <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, get ready to\ngive your blind cat lots of love. They make wonderful pets. Blind cats love to\nbe touched, petted, and held. They want to know that you are there and that you\nlove them &#8211; which shouldn\u2019t be hard at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By following the steps outlined in this article, your home and heart will be ready to take in your new blind kitty and give him or her the best life possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4317,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,227],"tags":[205,50,44,198],"class_list":["post-4308","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-posts","category-pet-owner-guides","tag-blind","tag-cat","tag-home","tag-prepare"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How to Best Prepare Your Home &amp;
