A "wobbly cat" is a feline with Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), a non-progressive, non-contagious neurological condition caused by an under-developed cerebellum. It causes jerky movements, tremors, and an unsteady, swaying gait. These cats are not in pain, and it does not affect their lifespan or intelligence.

Wide-Legged Stance: A broad base for better balance. High-Stepping Gait: Lifting legs higher than necessary. No Pain or Degeneration: The condition is present from birth, usually due to in-utero panleukopenia virus infection, and does not worsen over time. Wobbly Cat Syndrome Dancing Kitten Syndrome. Examples and Management Mobility Assistance: Using mats or rugs to prevent slipping on hardwood floors. Specialized Feeding: Propping food bowls up so they do not fall forward while eating. Daily Care: Many adapt well to living in a home with regular veterinary care, requiring only minor accommodations.
