Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, as viewed from an overlook I apologize for not commenting on your blog posts this past week; John and I took a vacation to Yellowstone National Park, leaving behind our computers and, to a large extent, cell phone service. We escaped the outside world and just spent time in nature. Though we have friends near Yellowstone (who we love to visit) we made this trip just about us, so please forgive us if we were nearby and didn't stop by. The crowds were minimal (though we did mask up whenever we passed someone on the trails) and we spent our days hiking, taking photos, and watching geysers erupt. Today, we are back home and back to work, and, in the case of my computer, back to old shenanigans like not letting me import my photos. (I was able to add the above photo by using blogger on my phone, but that isn't my preferred method.) I want to write about Yellowstone and have photos I want to share, but will leave that for another...
How did the cats lose their eyes? Was it a birth defect or an injury. I have a one eyed chicken and I think it was born without the other eye since it has so many other deformities.
ReplyDeletePhillip's breeder said he lost his in a fight. We suspect Leela was born with only one eye, but as she was a shelter cat that came in as a stray, we have no way of knowing for sure.
DeleteAawww
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful and I bet they don't even know they are handicapped.
ReplyDeleteIt takes a very special person to adopt a cat like that. To have two in your life is great. And creepy.
ReplyDeleteI told my husband we somehow raised very compassionate children, who also have very compassionate friends. Personally, I (not-so) secretly think of the cats as zombie cats. However, Leela has a very sweet personality. I can't make a good judgment call of Phillip; he's in a new environment and is still a kitten.
