Don't mess with this kitty,
If you don't want to go to fist city! :lol:
I often said old Eli was the Don of the Persian Mafia. He literally used his whiskers and his memory to navigate around walls and furniture. He had no problem finding the litter pan, food, or his favorite chair. Every now and then, I would hear him do the growl/war whoop. I would look over and one of the dogs would be standing near him. Then the dog's face would be flying back and the dog would get MOVING. Still not sure how he knew precisely where to hit, but he did so with amazing accuracy. He was completely blind. You could be loving on him and wave fingers in front of his eyes, he wouldn't blink or follow your fingers at all.No vision. He was a great old cat. The dogs have another opinion of him, I am sure.
