smokey the elder, thank you for your information and experience on this condition. Those falls Amy is taking are what scares me, I jump up every time I hear that awful "THUMP" of her falling.

Jan, we watch Amy's weight pretty close, I know that weight will make it harder for her legs to hold her up. SHe is holding on 9 pounds which looks good on her, not to fat, not to thin although when you hold her, she feels boney. She has a medium size bone structure so 9 pounds look right on her. She mostly lays around (on her side) as most pictures I post of her show. She sits up now and then, always leaning against a wall or something, but not a lot. She stands to eat or drink but lays down to play. She suddenly don't use her kennel much for sleeeping, preferring the floor, sofa or chair. When the other cats do that rip and run playing, you can tell she gets excited and wants to play too but she never trys to join in, just watches with that excited look on her face.

As much as it saddens me, I think I have my answer... I just hope it levels off before she gets to, to bad. Her litter mates, I saw the day I got her and a few times after that and they were not effected by CH, had no symptoms at all.

I can see I am going to have to rearrange my house to where she can't climb on things to get up on the higher places to HOPEFULLY save her from some of the falls. I caught her laying on the kitchen counter just yesterday and took her down and scolded her when she tried to get right back up there again.
