Many years ago I had a blind Siamese cat named Suzy. Of course, she was spayed and declawed and Never went outside; however, one time she did manage to get outside. When I discovered she was missing I was sick at heart as anyone who has a pet missing can relate to. Well, I called and called and searched the yard, neighborhood, etc. I finally gave up then, one night, it was very quiet, kids in bed, husband out with his buddies when I thought I heard a "Meow". I got up and turned on the light for out side door and looked out. There she was practically hugging the wall coming up the driveway. It had been about a week. She was very hungry and thirsty but otherwise in good shape. Suzy lived many more years but she did once again get out and sadly had injured herself coming back with a huge bulge on her belly. The vet said it was way to big a tear to repair especially at her age. Having a blind animal is a great responsibility but one that is worthwhile. They are worth every minute. I hope your baby comes home so don't give up hope. Animals are truly amazing.
