Funny that I replied to your posting since I have a cat named, Spunky!
I’ve got a dog with cataracts as well. She’s also lost most of her hearing. Is that what we can expect when we get older?
Afraid so. My last visit to the eye doctor he said I had the beginning of cataracks. I think I must be losing my hearing also as I can't hear a word my husband says. But maybe that is because he has the TV blaring and then tries to talk to me in a normal voice. :-)
