Description
I love them no matter how many body parts they may be missing, but every once in a while, I wonder how they might look whole. So, I'll take a few shots and play with the cloning brush or cut and paste and layers to make them whole again.
In each case, I took the existing eye, put it in it's own layer, resized and rotated it, and replaced the glint as necessary, then worked the eye back into the original image with the clone brush.
For those of you who have asked:
Madison (top image) was attacked by someone and her eye was gouged out with a stick.
Winston (bottom image) was shot in the head and beaten by someone. The damage to the back of the eye caused by the bullet made it necessary to remove what was left of the eye.
Both events happened just before these kitties came to live with me, and to my knowledge, no one ever found out who the perpetrators were.

Oh noooo! A few years ago I had a recurring nightmare about blind cats. As much as I love cats, blind ones (or ones with dodgy eyes) give me the creeps still. You've done a great job on them. How on earth you managed to hold them down while pasting and rotating etc. ....Gloves I suppose.

where angels tread... rickymaveety follows... P.E.T.A. needs to get ahold of this makeover... you work miracles with that camera + computer of yours... more importantly you work miracles in the lives of those who have no voice... perpetrators deserved to be silenced... and I mean their voiceboxes literally taken out... wouldn't that be a nice revenge!

Very nice work! Have the Cats recognized them yet?

They are both beautiful kitties, and so lucky to have found a loving home with you. We have three pound rescues here, a cat (American shorthair), two dogs (a Dandie Dinmont Terrier, and a Border Collie mix). The dogs were abandoned and left on their own for quite a while. Getting over their abandonment issues have been hard, but worth it. They are all very loving pets. Good luck to your two adorable cats. They would appreciate your effort to restore their symmetrical good lucks.

You did an excellent job. I have a one-eyed Abyssinian named Jack. He was a show cat and his bretheren are stars on the cat show circuit in the States and Europe. Jack was the pick of the litter, but he developed conjuctivitis. Rather than put him down, the cattery owners (Tailsend in St. Catherines, Ontario) decided to give him surgery, giving him a sweet chance. Then they advertised him on the cattery webpage, giving him away for free to a worthy household. That was 1996. He is still going strong, however my wife and I are afraid that he may have a kidney problem. Purebreds can be a handful. I played god with Photoshop and restored the poor little guy's eye. You did a first-rate and seemless job, almost cyber-surgery. Thank you for your work and thank you for your kindness to these poor little creatures. Rating this picture as excellent isn't enough. You've ascended above the bar in my book.

What sick basterd dit that to those poor cats. I wonder what I would have done if someone did it to my cats and I cought them on site... I wish them to lose some body parts themselves... Damn this gets me so angry, so needless...

I think you did a wonderful job Ricky... even with missing parts I can see they are something special.... :~) The world needs more folks like you in it.... far too many of our feline friends are suffering....

You did a super job on the picture. I meant to say that earlier, but I was really really angry. Tell them thanks for the purrs! And I didn't mean to put the "delete" option beside my comment. I'm new at this and I guess I clicked the wrong thing. Regards
