    Every morning I sit here having my coffee watching the 3 have their breakfast, one cat little snuggie is usually the quieter loner until it is feeding time and he just becomes a regular thug. He is always the last to finish and manages to get his head into the other two cats rice bowl. So it was clear he has a problem seeing the bottom of the food containers and I kept wondering why he couldn't see how to pick up that last tasty morsel. After they eat they just go crazy playing tag and kick and bite and of course climbing their personal tree "my feet and legs". I noticed that they do this each morning and late day after having their late meal. Always after the rough housing they take a nap. I started wondering why they can't see all the food as they get it down to just a couple little bites. I have a much better understanding of their eyesight now with this article. They obviously can see just fine because in the process of rough housing they are running a hundred miles an hour in a very small room. If their eyesight were not good they could not do that !

    OK I won't yell at Bonneroo for not catching the mouse I dumped RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM anymore. Sometimes they fall into a garbage can need the feed can. Bonneroo is a biter. He will come up to certain people and ask for love. When he has had enough, he spins and bites with lightning speed. Not a lot of people offer him petting anymore. Poor kitty.

    Seems our two new dogs think the same way. I have the marks to prove it, they don't bite but their teeth hit my legs fighting over attention. Or licking me like cray. I am trying to teach them without putting anymore fear in them. They had loads of that when they came, pick up anything and they ran as if life threatened. Any noise.
    had a kitten a long time ago that taught me never just have one! It would run from under something and climb up my legs.
