Blind people of Reddit, do you find cats cute? What kind of things so you think are cute? (self.Blind)
submitted by CypressBreeze
I woke up in the middle of the night last night and it was completely dark so I couldn't see anything. But my little cat Sora was there and she was soft and warm. I could feel her little ears and she was licking my hands like she always does and purring and snuggling. We have three cats but if course I knew it was her without having to see her.
I remember thinking how cute it was even without having to see her.
Anyone else out there like cats? I would love to hear what it is like to experience cats or dogs as a blind person.

Yes, I do. I have a cat, and love her to bits. Though perhaps I find her slightly more warm and cuddly and comfortable, when she's sleeping on top of me at night, than cute.

Awesome! Thanks for your answer! Anyone who likes cats is a friend of mine! Enjoy your kitty!

I am sighted, but my boyfriend is blind and he loves my black cat. When we first started dating, he told me he wasn't a pet person, but he quickly came around and now he even wants to speak to my cat every time we talk on the phone. :)

> He wants to speak to my cat every time we talk on the phone

"Hello, is this Kitty?"

"Meow"

"Hey, Kitty! How was your day?"

"Meow, meow"

Riveting conversation.

I've always loved cats. I currently have two, one of which is blind... so he relies a lot in sound too. I talk to him, tap on surface to tell "come here" and so on. My husband has told i use echolocation with him when i sleep, but it seems natural since i and my kitty rely on sound a lot. He is soft and my love bug, loving his lap time with me. No matter how bad a day that always cheers me hp.
(Husband and the other cat can see fine).
