Harper's eyes twitch .... new info

[kimlovescats]

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???

:confused:

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. :)
