OMG what on earth have these kittens been through i hope there is another and you rescue the poor thing .What area are these poor babies from
please wish me luck hopefully I get this one as well
She is such a lovely kitten and has fabulous markings - she will have a few bumps in her little life but hopefully she will live to be a ripe old age. I had never heard of this either Sonni so we have both learned something today.
C.H. cats are amongst the most loving and intelligent,we are very lucky to share our home with Minimopsical who is a severe case.We prefer to call her acrobatic rather than sp.....The kitten is affected whilst in the womb when the cells in the part of the brain which control movement and balance dont develop. Chrissie I am sure will amaze you with her ability to cope with everything.Sonnie perhaps you might enjoy reading Minimopsicals storyhttp://www.pawsinncats.com/Mini.htm

i'm sure there are others more clued upon the condition than i am but as far as i'm aware it doesnt affect a cats life span and the one that i knew lived until she was 18. she was slower and clumsier than the other cats in the household but other than a dodgy gait/posture and a lot of falling off of window sills she was a healthy and happy cat. the people i knew just had cushions under all the window sills and tall furniture to catch her if she fell.

CH stands for CEREBELLAR HYPOPLASIA. awwwwwwwwww bless her, i love her even more now so will she have any problems? like in everyday cat life stuff? sorry for the hundred questions, but i never knew about things like this. I feel like a bad cat owner for not knowing that this kind of this is possible
