Thats so cute Ziroc! Choc has a great sense of hearing I think and a good awareness of his surroundings! It is you know really easy to teach a cat to fetch funny enough. Not sure how you would do it with a blind cat, but with a sighted cat you just toss a toy, cat runs after it, you follow cat, pick up toy (or take it out of its mouth LOL) and place the toy under the cat's chin. Then put your hand behind the cat's front legs, and slowly guide it to where you were sitting when you threw the toy in the first place. When you get there, drop the toy on the floor and give kitty lots of lovins and praise (even though cat hasn't really done anything yet, it was all you). Just repeat the process over and over, you'd be surprised how cats will catch on and learn to bring the toy back to you. Although watch out, you MAY create a monster, wherein in the middle of the night said cat may decide it wants to play fetch, and will drop the toy in your face whilst you are sleeping, or worse yet, the toy will will end up travelling under the covers, and you wake up with it pressed into your spine and wondering why your back hurts, only to reach around and bring up a "mousy" in your hands!!! (not a real mouse LOL, ack the horror if it were!)
