Cat eye infection and losing eye

what happens to cat when it has to lose an eye because of an eye infection?

Answer by Kate
Hi
Cats cope very well when they have to adapt to a new disability and so losing an eye should be fine.

it may take a little which for the cat to adjust to their new vision and they may bump into things at first a little but i have known lots of cats with only one eye and they cope fine.

recently when i went to a cat shelter they had to remove one eye from five little kittens who had cat flu. the shelter told me that the cats would be absolutely fine.

best wishes Kate
