    Very, very cute, especially when she is protecting her food.

    Many years ago, I rescued an abandoned cat (one eyed, jaw injury, starving to death) that turned out to have a very severe ear infection and he turned round and round in circles. I'd never seen that before or since, but then I'd never dealt with a cat in such poor condition before. The first vet I took him to shook his head and said he thought it was a brain tumor, nothing to be done. Fortunately, I didn't trust him.

    Is she otherwise coordinated, Kim?

    YES, she will run around and chase the other kittens, then some times she seems a bit dazed ... she'll move her head from side to side, or turn in circles several times in a row! Some times she takes a step or two backwards and then spins. Poor girl makes ME dizzy just watching her! Like I said, I got lots of ear mites particularly out of her right ear ... maybe she just has a really bad ear infection that is making her off balance??? Hopefully tomorrow I can find out something!
