That's such a lovely story. My old fella, Sammy is almost completely blind and I have to put the food right in front of him, and even then he chases it round in circles, bless him!

How lovely. I really enjoyed reading this. Shame I did not win the lotto at the weekend, I could. Have popped to St. Helena to visit!

I wonder if they could remove his cataracts as they do in humans? I don't know if they are removed in any other creature?
