Meet Archie, a blind cat who doesn’t let his lack of sight stop him from having fun, even if he doesn’t always land his jumps quite right. His mom, Donna, shared a throwback video of the day Archie’s foster brother, Ducky, came home, and Archie could barely contain his excitement at having a new friend to play with. First, though, he had to find him!
The clip shows Archie sensing Ducky nearby before springing into playful pounces, only to miss and try again with even more determination. Watch until the end to see whether he finally manages to track down the Orange Cat and kick off playtime. It’ll make your day!
Donna shared in the caption, “The most innocent pounce ever! Throwback to early days with Archie.”

Viewers Wanted To Know Where Ducky Was Now
On Instagram, viewers left more than 2,500 comments about Archie and Ducky’s first brawl. @soss.jessica said what the blind cat was thinking, “That first pounce, ‘Hey… where is he?!'” @eye_see_media called the interaction, “Most wholesome thing I’ve seen in a while!”
Many of the comments were hilarious, but many people were left wondering: Where is Ducky now?
“Foster cat? Does that mean he’ll be leaving?” @bondjamesbond316 asked. Donna replied and shared the story of why the two are no longer together.
“Ducky was actually my ex’s cat, adopted from a foster at the time. When we separated, Archie came with me. I know that sounds bad, but there’s an equally viral video of Ducky coaxing Archie into running headfirst into the wall LOL! He was too much cat for Archie. I was terrified about how Arch would do when we moved, but he flourished.
Ducky hunted him 24/7, playfully but in a way that gave him constant anxiety. Archie bumped into everything, always lost his bearings. I didn’t realize it was because he was always looking over his shoulder. It ended up being a good thing for all involved.”
Sounds like Donna had her hands full with the two of them together!
