Meet Lucy

Zoey's other buddy. By all accounts Lucy was a feral cat, she is also Ozzy's litter mate. We didn't know that she existed until about a month after finding Ozzy. She and the mother cat of these two were hanging around our property. We couldn't get near Lucy or the mother cat, so we decided to put food out and it was okay if they hung around outside.

After about 2 or 3 months we noticed Lucy always by herself, the mother no where to be found. So very very slowly we would coax her into letting us pet her for short periods of time. And eventually she would let us pick her up and hold her. I think she was very lonesome. About this time it was starting to get cold out and I couldn't bear the thought of her outside and all alone.

So being that she is Ozzy's sister we brought her in so the two could be together and have each other to hang out with. They are strictly indoor cats. Lucy is very shy and skittish and will let you know when she wants attention.

I believe she can only see shadows out of the eye that looks clouded over. When she was a kitten living outside, we noticed one day the area around her eye was very swollen. We thought maybe she got stung by a bee and it affected her sight in that eye.

So thats Lucy's story. Thought she deserved some "blog" time as the other two seem to get all the attention!

So Lucy is blind in her left eye, and Zoey has no right eye. Between the two of them, they have perfect binocular vision!

A pleasure to meet Lucy who is another lovely cat. There is something about tabbies! (I have two). V

What a pleasure to meet Lucy. I always wondered about her being so quiet in the background and looking unconcerned by all the picture taking. I always liked "Kliban Cats" and this picture reminds me of the "Love to eat them mousies" song! We used to have kitchen towels with those song lyrics on it and tiger kitties like Lucy and Ozzy have always been my favorites since then. I like Lucy's and Ozzy's dark eyeliner! One of my cats is gray and white but he has dark eyeliner too.

Well, you're so sweet to love all your adorable furkids. They're each so beautiful in their own way. I'm glad to know there's people like you out there.

I'm so happy you get us to know Lucy. What a story... man, you're an angel to kittycats ! Now I know why Lucy looks so much like Ozzy. So there are Zoey's friends. They'll get along, you'll see. The cat's world is based on... who's the boss and where they belong in the hierarchy. Once they know their place... it all falls together. So Lucy has got a bad eye too ! Well, she looks wonderful to me. Her fur looks so warm and soft... I'm glad to meet Lucy and to get her some blog time too.
