Inka has Cerebral Hypoplasia. There is NO coordination between her front and hind legs. They all follow their own way !So ske keeps falling every 4 steps; and when she tries to run , she looks like a circus-artist, making one salto after the other. Looks so funny sometimes. We always say then that Inka had to much whiskey again ! She is also shaking her head (like an (Alzheimer), and her lower jaw opens and closes sometimes without any reason. Oh yes, she also cannot guess a distance; so when she tries to jump up a chair, she jumps either to high or to law... .We all fear she won't live very long. BUT, we love her to pieces, our silly Inka!!!
Ah ha! The deception on photos once again LOL! Eli, Misty, and Noel (in my siggy) all have various degrees of cerebellar hypoplasia as well. Eli & Misty's stories and pictures are here...http://www.catfamily.com/chkittyclub/pages/members.html
As you can see, the world is full of these special kitties *sigh* Unfortunately doing a lot of trapping, I tend to find these special needs kittens which is a blessing for them. Their survival rate outside is very low. Give lovely Inka a kiss for me. And there's no reason for her not to live a long and healthy life. Yahoo Groups has an active message board, and the chkittyclub is one that's chock full of info from the members, and is a great place to exchange info.
