Awww, your kitty is so cute! I love it!
I don't currently have any kitties, but I have two lazy dogs that ACT more like cats than dogs.

LOL, well, one of my cats seems to think she's a dog, the way she follows me around and loves to be petted. In fact, it's this one.

You have a torbie. Of course you have a torbie.
That is an adorable bab :3

This is the 8-year-old kitten. Her tortitude manifests in the form of LUV ME LUV ME LUV ME LUV MEEEEE! 
So what’s the “of course” in my having a torbie?

The "of course" is that this cat is freaking adorable and lots of fun. As most torbies I've ever had are. And after reading the reply, this makes even more sense. I figured she was a lot of fun. And while my current outside torbie Sydney is too damn clever for her own britches (Exhibit A - If she comes in and I go to put her out, she digs her claws into the carpet and makes me unhook her first), she is very loving and sweet and fun and I would not trade her for the world. She's a little lighter than your baby though :3

She’s definitely the smarter one of my two cats...though I think there’s a chance the other one’s issue is a vision problem rather than bad reflexes or not being smart (which I suspect because she doesn’t look at her prey straight on, but really favors one eye).
And she’s absolutely insatiable when it comes to cuddles and pets. She is also an amazing sport about having to go to the vet every week for an allergy shot. Even when she hides under the couch she loves getting pets while I try to figure out how to haul her out, and she never bites or scratches. Sometimes I wonder if she thinks of it as roughhousing play rather than aggression! O_O

I'd agree with the vision issues myself, especially if your other babbu favors one eye. Does she also startle if you approach her from the "blind" side?
I appreciate cats who understand you're trying to help. It makes a difference when you have to take them in. I think well intentioned vet visits are a forgivable sin (even if some cats I know and love would probably disagree!)

It's hard to tell for sure, given that her hearing is very sharp, so getting the drop on her isn't easy for me to do. But I may experiment a little to see if I can get an idea. SOMETHING is going on, because not only does she favor one eye but when she runs at her prey, she misses to the side of it pretty badly sometimes, or seems to have lost track of where it went. So, I have to make an extra effort to play with her in a way she can definitely handle, so she doesn't get swooped in on by the overgrown kitten, or frustrated too much by trying to catch something that is beyond her abilities to catch.
Of course, it's also possible--as I know from my own personal experience before getting glasses--to have vision that SEEMS clear but is in fact disguising one really bad eye and nonexistent depth perception. My left eye compensated so strongly for the right eye that my brain just ignored the bad data coming from that eye. So I thought I had perfect vision when in fact I had exactly zero depth perception. I didn't find out until I went for my learner's permit. But I am by no means blind in my right eye. It could be a similar situation with the other cat, too, that throws her depth perception off.
And yeah, I think the overgrown kitten knows I'm trying to help her. She's really sweet with the vet and the vet techs too...when she gets her annual checkups, sometimes the vet even has to cover her nose to make her stop purring...otherwise her heartbeat can't be heard over the LOUD nose!

She's definitely adapting to the situation if her hearing's compensating for this visual hurdle. Another thing you might try testing is if how well she tracks movement on both sides. As far as play goes, I know every cat is different and I wonder if maybe a toy that makes some manner of noise might be good for her. Do let me know how things go!
I seem to remember reading somewhere about how strangely actual vision works as far as what we're actually seeing and how the brain translates it. I wish I could remember the article name or where I found it. It's weird.
It reminds me of my little black cat. I was feeding cats outside and he hopped up to get at the tin I'd put down for a sec and accidentally dunked his rear into an open 5 gallon bucket whose bottom 1/10th was filled with antifreeze. Enough to get on his tail and a little on his legs. I pulled him up before he could get on the ground to groom or get it on anyone and ran into the house to give him a bath in dawn and water (because, y'know, dawn fixes a lot of things when it comes to bathing cats). He protested a little by being wriggly and jumping out of the tub at one point (couldn't go anywhere. I had shut the bathroom door), but he never scratched or bit. He didn't even yowl. And once I was satisfied (his rear smelled of soap and NOT at all of antifreeze), I let him back out and was sufficiently paranoid for most of the evening after. But he's still with us and still loves me :3

If there's one good thing it's that I don't think anything has gotten worse since I got her. This is how things have always been with her. Things that DO work in playing with her are dragging a toy very slowly, or tossing something to her belly when she's rolled over so she can rabbit-kick it. I do intend to try some experiments to see if I can figure out if there's an obvious bad eye I can pin down, though like I said, getting the drop on her is not easy.
And yikes! Glad you saw what happened and caught your kitty before he could groom!!!
