Hello!
I have been reading about issues some pet owners have with their cats, in attempt to identify what my 10 month old kitten might have... Here is what's wrong with her. Her name is Stella. She has not been neutered. She received her first shots against distemper, and all other basic shots at 5 months old. She is due for a recall. However, she seems very unbalanced. When she was younger, she used to run and fall on her face, or she will rub her face on you to pet her and when you do and suddenly stop, she would fall on her side. A few months have passed, she can get off the sofa by landing on her feet a little better than before. But she still looks like her head is moving when she looks up at you, and still does the falling when you pet her. I think she might have mild ataxia. She was given to me by my grandmother, and she told me that when my cat was a few weeks old she fell down a flight of stairs.. Is it possible that this would have caused trauma to her brain? Other than that she is very healthy, very active and her health has not changed in the 5 months I've had her. I am just curious to know if this is normal and if there is anything I should do if it is not healthy for her to stay that way. Is it reversable? Thank you for your help!!!
