Cerebellar hypoplasia

Soooooo my friend’s sister’s cat likes to walk with her butt. they try to move next to her — like her back legs try to wander away from her body. It reminded me of this little condition some cats have, called cerebellar hypoplasia. It’s seen in both cats and dogs. I saw it on tv a few years ago. Animals are actually put down because their wonky walking is a sign of brain damage. Causes include the mom being infected by feline leukemia and being exposed to ringworm medication. The wibble wobbles aren’t that big of a deal most of the time — the cats look a big drunk, and they learn to move a different way than the norm.

ps: munchkin cat
