Here's what the humans have to say about me:
When PetitsPawz' foster mom, Linda, went to buy some cat food at the local pet supply store, she was in for a big surprise! A duffel bag containing 3 small kittens was on the steps of the establishment. More surprises awaited Linda. Two of the kittens were very wobbly with one having great difficulty to walk without falling. Linda did her research and concluded that these kittens had Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) and called PetitsPawz. Once brought to the vet, it was confirmed and Linda was correct, the kittens had a neurological condition, known as CH.
Annie is a bit shy at first, but once she gets to know you she is your very best friend. Another purr ball, Annie makes up in personality what she lacks in coordination. Annie walks with a wide gait and is also expected to improve significantly. She is fast and loves to run and play. She also loves to be held and cuddled.Not quite as outgoing as her sister Juliette, Annie seems to be a bit more aware of her limitations and therefore is slightly more cautious until she get comfortable. She gets very attached to her caretakers and bonds very easily.She is a tranquil kitty full of love and delight. She is eager to please and ready to play at all times. Annie has a slick black coat and if she was in a beauty contest she would win miss photogenic!!
Cats with CH have underdeveloped cerebellums, the part of the brain which controls balance and coordination. This causes mild to serious coordination problems. These cats may have trouble walking without falling over, have trouble focusing, have head bobbing and walk with a wide gait. They also have no pain, no idea that they are different than other cats and tend to be extremely loving. They have the same lifespan as other cats. The condition does not worsen, in fact with time, it often improves as other parts of the brain compensate. They also learn quickly how to live with their limitations. ||
