Actually Miles is the one misinformed here.

Recent neurological tests on cats shows nearly identical results when compared to humans. These results showed that cats can experience what in humans is called "cortical blindness". When severe

damage is done to the primary visual cortex cats have been shown to demonstrate the same anosognosia that humans do. The fact that cats can be shown to suffer the same cognitive dysfunction is hugely significant. Cortical blindness is quite different from blindness that results from damage to the eye or optic nerve.
