Interesting eyes, for a blind cat. They remain open, the pupils appear to respond to light levels, yet the cat is apparently blind.
My daughter adopted a cat born without eyes. It seems to do OK — follows walls a lot to get where it needs to go...
What a precious kitty. And entertaining as well.
LOL
I’m a huge fan of the Dune series so any reference gets my applause.
I was a dedicated dog person until that little orange ball of fur appeared in my rain-soaked driveway almost 2 decades ago. He was an abandoned feral kitten whose eyes hadn’t yet opened...he grew into a 25 lb savage...I named him Buster and I’ve had a heart for cats ever since. I still miss him every day.
Im a huge fan of the Dune series myself. Have read all the sequels and prequels.

Unlike the purists, I enjoyed the B. Herbert/KJ Anderson books immensely. Yeah there were some oddball retcons, but so what. I was just happy to see more Duniverse LOL
Amen to that!
I emailed them via the official Dune website about writing a trilogy about the ‘Famine Times’ and the ‘Scattering’ times, right after the death of Leto II, when the Honored Maters were created from the remnants of the Fish Speakers and the Exiled/Expatriated Bene Gesserit. We readers and fans know nothing of what was going on in that time frame, which was about 5000 years!
Kevin Anderson emailed me back saying it was a very interesting idea. But I haven’t seen any new novels covering that era...............
LOL I’d read that trilogy...pretty cool that you got a response.
I like his Star Wars novels, a franchise that owes much to the Duniverse as well.
Though my favorite is “I, Jedi” by Stackpole which ironically enough is set during Anderson’s new Jedi order timeline.
I despise Star Wars and anything connected to it. Even before Disney bought it.
I went to see the first one in 1977 at the theater, after all the hype, and was sorely disappointed while the now iconic words began scrolling up the screen.
“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away............”
I remember saying to myself, “This is a damned Fairy Tale!”..................
Soooo... you expected an accurate non-fiction account of the Empire being opposed by that plucky band of Rebels?
LOL I was 5 yrs old when I saw the first movie and I’ve liked it ever since. I will admit I’m less than thrilled with the latest trilogy. The SJW infection has just about killed many a franchise.
RJ Sawyer put out an interesting proposal for a prequel series that linked the THX-1138 timeline to SW; I’ve read it all and wish it’d been pushed by Lucas. IMHO
I didn’t know what to expect in 1977. No one did.
They hype surrounding the initial release of this movie was enormous. No supposed Science fiction move had ever had such a budget or such a premier.
Being a science fiction fan from my earliest childhood I expected a more serious introduction.
Had they NOT USED that introduction as it was written my opinion would have been different. It started out just like a Grimm’s Fairy Tale, “Once upon a time in a land far, far away........”
I have never seen one Star Wars movie since the first one and now that Disney owns it, never will..................
Hes a cutie. I had three blind cats once. They adapted amazingly well. The only time they had problems is when I moved or rearrange the furniture or brought in something new. Other than that people didnt even know they were blind.
One of the blind ones was even the first one to go through a brand new cat door. He had to teach The sighted ones how to do it!
