How about this for bizarre stories. According to the Daily Mail (not our usual rag, but was picked up by a fellow blogger) that there is a cat living in Godshill who wears contact lenses.
The poor little pussy suffers from entropion and the contact lenses have brought new joy to his life. Entro what you ask?
So did we, but apparently it is a condition that causes the eyelids to roll inwards.
Sounds all a bit too much like Tom sand Jerry doesn’t it, but it’s true and sadly those afflicted with the condition end up with very inflammed eyes.
Due to the dear moggy’s age (91 – in cat years, natch), surgery was out of the question, but now, due to the contact lenses, the furry feline can see claely again now and doesn’t have to put up with the pain.
