Jack was born without eyes. He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens (young cats) to socialize (交往)with, and was used to people from the moment he was born. However, when it came time to find the kittens

homes, no one knew where Jack would end up.

That’s when I got an e-mail from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens? There’s

one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him”. Without thinking I told her that I did want the kitten.

When we first brought him home, Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had noissues running

around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house, he’ll stop. But we just call his name and talk

to him and it isn’t long before he finds his way back to us.

A few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new cat named Bear. Jack and Bear have become best friends. It

doesn’t matter that he can’t see. He always knows when Bear is around. He’ll run across the yard straight to Bear

and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They run after each other around and wrestle (摔跤). They’ll

lie down in the grass together when tired.

Jack is truly an inspiration. I’ve owned lots of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He

doesn’t feel sorry for himself. He doesn’t need pity. I think Jean, owner of Gumbo, another eyeless cat, said it best

when she told me that cats don’t have disabilities; they have adaptability.
