That is a lovely video and Charley is fab. My bridge babe Sophie was CH but not too severe, she had trouble jumping onto things but worked out that if she squeaked at her meowmy then she would lift her up so she could see out of the windows. She did sometimes fall off things or tumble over if she got too enthusiastic but always managed to make it look as if she had meant to do that  :rofl: She was such a little sweetheart and as bright as a button, half the size of Dylan but she was in charge  :rofl:

This is indeed the condition Minimopsical was born with and she is classed as severe. However dont be fooled by CH cats they are highly intelligent, adaptable and very loving and deserve to live their lives to the full. Charley is gorgeous and it is lovely to see his humans putting his message accross.

Pretty much like Minimopsical at Paws Inn. Perfectly intelligent and an absolute joy, her balance is a bit challenged but a sweeter natured cat I have never seen.

There are varying degrees of CH, we have a CH kitty, but his seems to be very mild.
Please spay your cat

If other cats affected by this disease manage as well as Charley appears to, it seems awful that they would be PTS doesn't it.  It would seem that Charley's quality of life is good - just a bit wobbly  :Luv2:

Isn't it what Minimopsical has too? (or am I wrong?)

I think so, yes  :Luv:

To be honest I am not too sure how often it occurs. Isn't it what Minimopsical has too? (or am I wrong?)

Like it says on the vid, a lot of vets or owners may just pts cos there is not a lot known about it :(

That is such a good video and what a lovely fellow Charley is.  I had never heard of this before, how often does it occur Mojo, do you know?
