cat blindness

Question
would like to know,is my cats; going blind from age or an illment.

Answer
HI Kevin,
  Well... have to tell you it could be some of both. As the cat ages so does their eyes, this is a natural thing. The lense of the eye can become cloudy. However, there are diseases like diabetes or hypertension that can cause blindness. So...I would take your kitty in for an exam if it has been a year or more since your cats last vet. visit. Take care and good luck.
