This came across my emails the other day and I was just amazed. I had never heard of such a thing but then again, I’m not surprised. Animals are amazing. I see every day how Lucy interacts with Mochi. Even Mochi sat on the couch next to Sammy. I think a 12 year old cat that can put up with a an almost 4 year old Corgi and an 8 year old Lab is pretty amazing.
But here’s the story on the seeing eye cat-
Cashew, the 14-year-old lab is blind and deaf. Her best friend is 7-year-old Libby, her seeing-eye cat. Libby steers Cashew away from obstacles and leads her to food. Every night she sleeps next to her. The only time they are apart is when Cashew goes for a walk. Without this cat, Cashew would be lost and very, very lonely. Amazing but true: this is one animal that knows what needs to be done and does it day in and day out for her friend. – – Terry Burns
