In this Instagram video, a cat reaches out her tiny paws to find a favorite person, and the entire internet melts. Stevie is sitting on a fluffy towel when mom brings a finger close enough for her to find, and the blind cat immediately starts feeling for it with her paw. She flexes her tiny toe beans around the finger, then pulls it closer and holds on. The video was shared by @eyelesscatmom and shows just how Stevie and mom have learned to connect through touch.
