Bushty and Lauren
My daughter Lauren, about to turn 14 and our old cat Busty who is about 19 years old. He is essentially blind and deaf. Likes to eat about every 2 -3 hours, and the food has to be fresh from the can or he will stand there and cry. My wife inadvertently switched the position of his water and food bowl the other day. Food is usually to the right and water to the left. I didn't realize how well he had memorized the house until that time. He stood over his water bowl (in the food bowl position) and repeatedly turned to the right realizing that the food should be to the right of the water. Each time he would bump his head on the cabinet. He was clearly dazed and confused each time. I watched for about a minute or two before switching them back. He then resumed his normal routine.
