Helen, at first when we got Scruffy from the shelter, I think his blindness was due to his kidneys being shut down and infected. The antibiotics helped him a lot and his sight came back, although he did still have cataracts. Later on in his life, the cataracts got much worse. I'm not sure if his degenerating kidneys caused his blindness to come back, or if it was just the worsening cataract problem. I do think he could see shadows for a long time.
