HI i have a kitten here that was born 2 weeks ago and her eyes are completely black. The other kittens eyes are blue. So i was wondering maybe she is blind. SHe can find her mother and the kittens to cuddle up to. But i was wondering about her eyes. She doesn't as much as the other ones. Anyone got any ideas.

I have never seen a kittens eyes that were completely black before and I have also never had a blind cat but if I had to venture a guess I would say that it really is too early to tell. If she does manage to find her mother and her siblings that doesn't necessarily mean she can see. Before my kittens eyes opened (they are 9 weeks old today) they found mommy and each other, they go more by touch and sound. I think that your best bet would be to consult a vet. They say any abnormality in a cat's eyes should be checked as soon as possible to avoid damage. If you do decide to go to the vet with your little one, let me know how it goes. I am a huge cat lover (I have 6 of my own) and I truly am curious about this one. Good Luck to you and the little one. :)

Hi, well her eyes are changing blue like the rest of them. My b/f told me not to worry. He said he seen thm change in the light. So i waited for a few days and looked again in different lighting and sure enough they are changing. What a big relief. Plus she moving around on the floor alright so, there is a sign there that she can see. I have a cat that she wakes me up every morning at 7:30. she loves the radio. HSAe hates it when one of the kids are crying she right there beside them. When she wants loving she will jump up where ever i am at like here on the computer and sits on my keyboard. Man she purrrs like the dickens. She don't like to be held like a normal cat. SHe loves to be cradle like a baby and her chest being rubbed. My b/f said man her got her some spoiled. She sleeps on top of my pillow. When i was sick this winter with the flu she would curl up beside me and keep me warm, especially when my feet were cold she curl up on them and went to sleep. Like she know that they where cold. She was helping me stay warm. thats my baby.
