In the late 1960s when I was around 10 years old we had a cat with CH. He was very wobbly. We didn't know what was wrong and we weren't well off so we never took him to the vet. He never seemed like he was in pain. We took good care of him. Once he got hurt and outside of his mouth swelled up.. i drained the pus and kept applying bacitracin. He healed up well. I would hand feed him a lot because it took him forever to eat and he'd get the food all over. We fed him wet food because he lost some teeth from falling down. He drooled alot. When we'd call him he'd come running as fast as he could but sometimes during the excitement he'd flip backwards. He was very determined and he didn't think anything was wrong. I remember he once was trying to mate with another cat and he kept jumping over her and ending up on the ground. She would just stand there. He wasn't successful but at least he tried. When his mother had another litter he'd nurse with the new kittens. My dad took all the kittens to the humane society when they were able to eat cat food. We kept Charlie and his mom. He lived over 10 years. I wish we had known more about his condition. I think if we did take him to the vet back then they'd probably suggest that we put him down. I'm glad we kept him.

[@allaninaet2835]

@wabbajocky8235 Cerebral Palsy isn't really a "disease" because one can't catch it from someone who has it. It's more of an umbrella term for a family of physical disorders where the cerebellum is messed up in some way. Causes can range from case to case. Mine was a brain bleed as a newborn back before they came out with those blood clotting shots they give to babies nowadays.

You absolutely MUST know, as an owner of a “wobbly cat,” they are completely normal w the exception of their gait. A yr ago I adopted Button from a gigantic rescue in Houston. She was dropped off, thank God, at a shelter, abused, and full of kittens in her 1st heat. She is a blue point Siamese , and once her owners saw she was “deficient “ they threw her out and a shelter picked her up. Fast forward to today; I’ve had her a year. She is my absolute HERO bc she lets nothing get in her way to being a happy little cat in my household. We snuggle together always, and she knows how to use the steps I’ve set up for her. If ANYBODY IS STILL READING THIS..,,.adopt a “wobbly cat.” They will fill you w so much love. I promise it.

[@mariagratiaplena2000]

Hi! I recommend you can cover a specific area of your bedroom or bathroom with dog pee pads. You can limit the area and bring her back consistently ( like training a dog) or leave her there contained so she feels the difference of peeing in bare floor and on top of a pad. Get the cheap masking tape and try replacing the pads or part of them if it is worth saving the unused side. The wobbly cat that I am fostering is a sweetie and I had to take her inside during the last Hurricane season. They should be inside all the time or under supervision if going out.

This Wobbly cat Syndrome is called Cerebella Hypoplasia. It is something that is a disability that a cat can live with forever and they are the happiest cats ever. There is also three different levels of CH too. There is the one that a cat can walk pretty much normal with a hint of CH, a mild type that a cat can walk but has some balance issues, and third the worse where they don’t walk at all and need assistance in feeing, taken place to places and litter box too even though they do try to get where they want to on their own which is good.This place that takes in these cats is such a beautiful place and for that, I’m thankful to them for it and also am pleased too that there are people out there who do love these cats enough to love them and give them a forever home.

It's disappointing that this report doesn't explain how these cats come to be with this disorder. Cerebellar hypoplasia most commonly occurs in kittens when their mother contracts feline panleukopenia virus and passes the infection to the kittens in utero. This is a virus which a vaccination exists for. the amount of CH kittens would be greatly reduced if people vaccinated their animals. While it is becoming more understood soooo many of these cats are euthanised because of their disorder and shelters inability to care for high needs animals. This report should really be encouraging people to vaccinate their pets rather than laughing and saying oww how sweet at them falling down.
