Zoe gets his closeup.
You can see that he’s a little cross-eyed. He was lying on the sofa here, where he looks his most innocent.
There’s a little dark grunge in the corners of his eyes. We think it comes from the eyedrops he has to get for his glaucoma. Cleaning his eyes is part of the twice-daily ritual of putting in his eyedrops. I clean them out, and then by the next time he gets his medicine, his eyes are grungy again.
Zoe is so cute! I love this closeup. Has he always been a bit cross-eyed? Or is this something that came after the eyedrops?
Robin, he’s always been a little cross eyed. He is cute when he’s not being mean.
Leah: Zoe sounds just like out little “innocent,” Doppler. She’s all sweetness and light–until she perceives that she can get the better of our newer cat, Maxine. Then, she turns into a feline fury and the fur flies.
Doppler has hypothyroid syndrome (apparently common in older cats) and needs to have a prescription cream massaged into her ears twice daily. She tolerates it fairly well (maybe even likes it), but I’m not sure how she’d do if I had to clean up her eyes.
Scott — Zoe seems like he’s a little bit more tolerant of petting since he had his hair cut, but I don’t know how he would react if we had to massage cream into his ears.
