Honey Bee the blind hiking cat

[IMG][/IMG]


The blind cat rescued by the Animals Fiji shelter and adopted by her new owners, Sabrina and Jonathan Ursin, who brought her back to Seattle with them.

Despite her lack of sight, Honey Bee loves the great outdoors and has developed a passion for regular hiking and trekking sojourns with her humans in and around the city's mountainous surrounds.

A YouTube video, aimed at raising awareness for her rescue charity AnimalsFiji.org, has gone viral with over 700 000 viewers showing Honey Bee out and about in Mason Lake, outside Seattle. Their Facebook page is regularly updated and is hugely popular with fans reguarly checking updates.

It's probably a good thing she can't see those vistas, or she might want to take off running into them. I used to take my kitty on a leash just down into the courtyard. She handled it well but she definitely wanted to explore areas I wanted her away from
