A heartwarming video of a one-eyed cat attempting to “fix” a blind golden retriever’s eyes has gone viral on social media, melting netizens’ hearts with the cross-species tenderness.
In the footage, a cat with a gauze patch over its left eye gently touches the golden retriever’s blind eyes with its paw, nuzzling the dog’s cheek as if offering comfort. The blind retriever lies quietly, occasionally sniffing the cat, creating a scene of trust and warmth.
The video’s uploader shared that the cat “Meiqiu” lost an eye in an accident, while the retriever “Beibei” is blind due to a congenital eye disease. “They’ve been inseparable. Meiqiu always stays by Beibei’s side. Seeing it ‘paw at’ Beibei’s eyes felt like it was trying to ‘help find light’—so moving,” they said.
Netizens commented: “Animals show the purest kindness” and “The one-eyed cat protects the blind dog in its own way—this is mutual salvation.” Animal behaviorists explain such interactions as (tacit understanding) formed through long-term co-living. “They bond via smell and touch, demonstrating cross-species emotional connection rooted in natural empathy.”
With over a million views, the video has inspired discussions on adopting disabled animals. As netizens note, in the furry world, physical flaws never divide—companionship itself is the warmest “repair.”
