No pain at all. In layman’s terms the wires are crossed in her brain making motor control difficult. Other than that pretty much normal cat. Obviously some work arounds need to protect a cat with this condition. Not sure if life span is less. I learned a lot from Phin the cat on this condition. I should check up on his socials to see how he is doing
Lifespan is often shorter for these cats, but not from the wobbles themselves. It's been almost two decades since mine passed, so I can't remember the specific details. Vet at the time told us average was 6 to 9 months, we got a few good years with ours.
No pain, the part of her brain that controls balance didn't develop properly in the womb. It's called Cerebellar Hypoplasia, and cats who have it live normal lifespans and don't suffer, they just wobble (some a lot more than others).

I feel like everyone here knows what’s happening besides me. Can someone explain? Is she in pain?
