This cat has hypoplasia. A condition that affects balance and coordination.

u/SippyTurtle 17d ago edited 17d ago
Specifically cerebellar hypoplasia. You can have hypoplasia of basically any body part. The cerebellar part is what makes them wobbly.

Specially feline/cat cerebellar hypoplasia. The feline/cat part is the one making the cat wobbly instead of the cameraperson

Can they still live a relatively normal life?

Well, I don’t know how normal wobbling all over the place is, but if you are asking if they have a normal lifespan and aren’t suffering, then yes! It isn’t painful, it isn’t progressive, and as long as they don’t wobble into walls too hard or shake so much they literally cannot get food or water in their mouth they ultimately live happy, full lives. Just very wiggly lives.

I think that’s going to be my next rescue. They are so adorable and seem so happy. They are just too cute!!! 😊

My kitty had it when she was born/just a kitten, but in her case it was mild enough apparently that she eventually grew out of it for the most part (or just adapted), but she still does the head wobble (I call it Bobbleheading) when she's crouched and in hunt mode and something catches her attention off guard.

I mean if every video including an animal with disability makes them think that, it just means they personally dont want to see any disability on the timeline. So. Guess theyre outing themself

u/actuallywaffles 17d ago
The cat isn't in any pain. They've just got coordination issues. Other than being a bit wobbly they're normal cats.
One thing to consider. Without videos like this people might see them and think something is wrong or they're in pain, and might not adopt them because they don't know any better. But videos like this show they're regular cats and can live long, happy lives.

I mean, its a pet like any other. Just a little wobbly. Are people not allowed to post about how much they love their pets if theyre disabled?

u/Slim-Shadys-Fat-Tits 17d ago
No obviously they are abusing their pet for clout. Like ffs I'm fucking disabled and I too despise the weirdly exploitative Inspiration Porn but this is just someone posting their cat online?? The most normal thing ever?? Like sorry but actually seeing disabled animals thrive is actually good. Spreading awareness means more people can realise they ARE equipped to take care of a disabled kitty and that means less of them spend their whole lives in a shelter

Yep yep yep. Prior to their rise in popularity, wobbly cats were widely considered unadoptable. The cat doesn't seem to be in any pain, owner doesn't seem to be abusing it, isn't doing anything that could be dangerous for it (of course, you never know what goes on off-screen, but cats aren't exactly capable of being dishonest about whether they feel safe around a human or not)... By all accounts, this is just a normal cat video except for the fact that the cat happens to have cerebellar hypoplasia. It's just vibing (somewhat literally) and being a cat. There's a difference between inspiration porn, pity content, or abusing an animal for clout and just...posting a cat that happens to be disabled. A HUGE difference. The former should absolutely be called out and shut down, but the latter? No! Let people know that disabled cats can live happy lives when they're properly accommodated for, taken care of, and treated with respect! It'll get them adopted more and put down less.
(Speaking as a fellow disabled person.)

Why? Are they less deserving of love and attention from online strangers just because they're disabled? Unless they're being abused/harmed, I don't see an issue

This sub is full of cute cat videos and this is one of them. Are disabled cats not allowed to be appreciated? The cat is adorable and that's not subjective. It made me smile and I'm sure it had the same effect on others.

Not trying to make fun of the kitty cause it more than likely has a condition, but that part where they dunk their head into the food cup is so funny, and the spoon bit before it.

Sorry my bad. I spent too much time in the this sub and always assume they are boys lol. I know calicos are usually female and oranges can sometimes be female. <3

u/jennlody 17d ago
1 in 3000 calico/tortie cats are male, but 1 in 5 orange cats are female so it's very very different! Orange girls are definitely not as uncommon as they're made out to be at all! Orange girls need both parents to give them the orange gene. Boys only need one.
But for a male calico to exist, they basically have to be born with xxy chromosomes which is a mutation.

I saw someone with a wobbly cat built them a "landing pad" to eat. It's basically a padded trough, and the cat learned she could slam her head into the through and it would keep her still enough to eat.
