    Harper's eyes twitch .... new info

    I have often noticed that my Harper's beautiful blue eyes twitch rapidly from side to side. For the longest time, I just thought it was something that "showed up" more because of his light eye color. Recently I have been paying really close attention to it, and comparing his eyes with my other cats' eyes..... only Harper's do this! I began a search on the internet tonight, and I found that it is a neurological birth defect called Nystagmus, which is common in siamese cats! I am trying to find out more information about it, so far I haven't found anything that suggests a potential problem or danger, but I will be contacting my vet's office to check further!

    Does anyone else here know anything about Nystagmus???

    Never heard of it. But I will be staying "tuned" to learn more. Good luck with Harper.

    I hope it's nothing serious. He's such a pretty kitty. You can see the meezer coloring in him which must be where he gets this from. Can't help with any info, but I'll be staying tuned for more too.
