Answer
I am not sure why you think your cat is blind? Did the vet tell you she was?
Sometimes they might be having some issues with their vision from other problems.

Sometimes kidney problems can cause blood pressure problems which can then lead to vision problems.

You need to ask your vet to check her retinas and her overall vision, and her kidney function also.

If he can, he should check her blood pressure too.
Some blindness is temporary, but that is rare.
