It’s a perfect mix of bravery, joy, and determination. You can practically feel his excitement as he nails each leap, proving that a little blindness can’t dim his spirit one bit.

Another sweet comment read, “I love how you can tell he’s trying to get the hang of it by test jumping a LITTLE at first, and then when he can feel that his surroundings are ‘coast is clear,’ he jumps even higher.” Another blind cat parent added, “My blind cat likes to climb up people’s legs then scream because she can’t figure out how to retract her claws.” Awwww, LOL!

If you have your own blind cat at home or are thinking of adopting one, here is why you need to make sure they have safe and fun ways to release their energy.

Why Blind Cats and Kittens Need Enrichment

Blind cats need plenty of enrichment because their world relies so heavily on their other senses. Without sight, they explore through touch, scent, and sound, which means activities that stimulate those senses are crucial for their happiness and confidence.

A blind kitty mama by the name of Jess explains that toys that make noise, like crinkle balls or bells, can help them track movement, while textured mats and scratching posts give them something safe to explore. Jess also offers this advice from the Caticles website, “Cats need routine in their lives to stay happy and comfortable. Imagine if you lived outside and fought for your survival. You’d want your day to be predictable, right? This is how we have to live with our domesticated cats. These instincts are ingrained. Even if they have never been outside, don’t move things around too often. Especially your blind cat’s stuff.”

Another idea is gentle play sessions that involve scent-based games or treat puzzles, which can help them feel engaged and secure. Regularly changing up their environment in small, predictable ways (like offering a new toy or treat) also keeps their curiosity alive without overwhelming them. Enrichment isn’t just about keeping them busy, but it’s what helps blind cats stay active, independent, and joyful in their own special way.
