Cerebellar hypoplasia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Cerebellar hypoplasia is a disorder found in cats and dogs in which the cerebellum is not completely mature at birth. Usually symptoms can be seen immediately at birth in cats, but sometimes can take two months or so to become apparent in dogs. Cerebellar hypoplasia causes jerky movements, tremors and generally uncoordinated motion. The animal often falls down and has trouble walking. Tremors increase when the animal is excited and subside when at ease. There are several bacterial infections, such as herpes, that can result in the disorder in both cats and dogs. However, the disease can also be caused by malnutrition, poisoning, injury or general accidents during development in the fetus. The disease does not get better or worse with age, but the cat or dog can usually learn to somewhat compensate for it. Most afflicted animals can lead a fairly normal life if preperations are made by the owner for the animals disability.

This article says they do not get worse with age but they DO. I had found another one that states that. I am not the only one who has a CH kitty here at PT.

Oh, sweet Amy, I know how I feel when I am cold and damp, so I know you are hurting, too. It can never be too hot for me! Poor little girl, you need some nice fleece legwarmers.

I know you've said you've tried them all, but what about the kind you heat in the microwave?
I would not really trust a cat with an electric blanket, or a space heater, knowing how nawtee they can be.
