Christofur is adorable! And I love the spelling of his name. Prayers are being prayed that all goes well with the vet. He's one lucky little kitty to have you to love him and care for him.
Thank you and bless you for taking this special little guy into your loving care. If he's up to it, would you give him some lovies from me?
FIND A PURPOSE IN LIFE.....BE A BAD EXAMPLE
Pats and cats
Yesterday I took Christofur to the vet to be checked over. The vet found that while his eyes respond to light, he doesn't seem to process what he sees. She threw some cotton balls down in front of him, which would have most cats in "CHARGE!" mode, but he didn't seem even to notice them.
The same thing with his hearing: If I whistle or snap my fingers or make some noise, he doesn't seem to hear.
He's still the same little lovebug, though! And I learned something else about him last evening: He LOOOOOOOOOOVES catnip!!!!!

What a cute cute baby he is.
Welcome to Pettalk little Christofur- we hope that the TLC you are getting now is helping you to feel better- but you seem to be just fine which is one of the things why kitties are so amazing.

Creamsicle was like that in the beginning; she couldn't seem to focus on anything and my old vet determined that her peripheral vision is bad plus she's deaf. I know that your CH babies have more severe cases than my Creamsicle and they've adapted well so I'm sure that Christofur will, too.Originally Posted by phesina

But he has trouble with his legs, too, right? So even if he wanted to pounce on the cotton balls, could he?
Sweet Christofur, I know you will have the best of care with your loving meowmie! ***kisses***

The vet was afraid that something progressive is going on and thought his prospects might not be all that great. But, as I told her, "He's happy and comfortable, and he can keep on being happy and comfortable with me as long as he wants." She thought that was a good way to look at it all.Creamsicle was like that in the beginning; she couldn't seem to focus on anything and my old vet determined that her peripheral vision is bad plus she's deaf.

He doesn't have much use of his legs so he couldn't pounce on the cotton balls, but he could at least lunge toward them or somehow express an interest. He didn't even seem to notice them dropping by him.

Not to pick on the vet...but Christofur may have noticed the cotton balls a bit more if they were bright red, or even a dark colour. If I recall correctly, cats are pretty much colour blind except for red and one other colour (green?).
Also, omega 3 oils apparently do good things for the nerves, as in the actual physical nerves in the nervous system. I wonder about adding some to Christofur's diet since he is still growing?
Wishing that cute wittle boy a long and happy life!

He had a seizure late this afternoon. We are going to see the vet tomorrow.
