Zangaro and Baz--Cerebellar hypoplasia

[bblando65]

I love this video! Anyway of getting some more videos of these two adorable cats? I'd love to how they're doing now :)

[d0pesick]

:51 made me laugh out loud.

[siriusizhot]

So cute!!! I think CH cats are the sweetest!!! I know my CH babies are.

[Numaness]

Omg how gorgeous are those lads eh? Absolutely stunning!! 

[orangejuice1000]

are they in pain?

[frankensteinmoneymac]

@orangejuice1000 My understanding is, not in general. Basically the condition causes jerky motion, and clumsiness....but as long as they are well taken care of, they can be healthy, and quite happy. The only pain, they might feel (I imagine) is from accidents they may have due to their lack of motor skills. And even so, I doubt that such a cat would hurt itself too badly, considering they are pretty lightweight animals, falling down would likely not even cause a bruise. .

[Ikonakonei]

Gotta love'em.

[kittje]

what angels! i'm so glad they're living good lives

[shivaandjaya]

You men are so handsome! Your mommy is so right for saying you're good boys! I am a CH rescue kitty. Five stars for you and for your wonderful mommy! Big kisses and a happy New Year, Shiva xox

[maddiezuzu]

Adorable, I have a dog with CH, and she is the funniest sweetest dog in the world. She has no problem with her falling and running into things, but sometimes I feel bad. I have a video of her on youtube too.

[wendilew]

I have a CH kitty also. I've only had her for a little over a month, but I just love her. I've had to learn not to get discouraged when she falls over or has a hard time; it doesn't upset her at all!! She is so playful and loving. I hope more people learn of the disorder and give these deserving little guys a chance!!

[annieryerson]

Big kisses to Zangaro and Baz! I have a female CH kitty, she's absolutely adorable and one of the most lovable cats I've ever had. Lots of love from Annie, Armani, Calvin, Dolce and Gabbana.

Hi

As a person who lost her CH Cat a few years ago due to a severe seizure he was only 2 years old. I was wondering how old your cats have lived and if they seizure?

[mtp0202]

Not wanting to sound cruel, but they should be thankful most humans have the concept of taking care of creatures in their situation. If they were feral and out in the wild, I shudder to think how many would be abandoned by their mother (yes she would do it) and left to starve to death. I own cats my self and they can have a real survival of the fittest attitude.

[FlingyRingy]

Not exactly. I am in the middle of rescuing a kitten from a farm where the mother, while they are weaned, still takes care of them, and one of the kittens is possibly CH (or something very similar).

Its not so much would they be taken care of (mothers will abandon their kittens for many reasons, and sometimes for no reason at all), its the fact that they would never be able to hunt to survive and would more than likely starve to death during the harsher months.

[Whippo4eva]

Wouldn't be abandoned, they would be EATEN because animals are smart enough to let the weak and diseased DIE for the good of the species (or in our case, it would be good for the planet).

[Geisha989]

Kudos to you for caring for these kitties, they look very happy and healthy. This is very inspiring!

[flourincia365]

she is so cute my cat has that disease to

[coolcwer]

i wish i had a cat like that D:

i would never need anything else to lol at

[thebatmanofonett]

its so true. my girlfriends family just got a kitten who has CH and he vibrates when he's thinking. its both lol'worthy and adorable. I wonder though does he do it for the lulz?

[chibiace]

cute kittens

[PatZ1989]

this isn't ment as a mean joke or anything by the way but they should have named them zig and zag :D

[AshBender]

I would feel bad for laughing at that but I named my lovely kitty that has CH (who just turned 15 and still very healthy and happy and loved) 'Coas' (aka Cat On A Skillet).

[alyshicious]

lol no i gotta admit if i had two CH Cats and they were siblings i would name thim zig and zag...its cute. I had a CH cat Named Ashes he was the best he died 2 years ago from a seizure.

[iowanative]

What is the Cosequin for?? My CH cat has a problem with RAGE and also hurting himself. He bites his tail so hard he growls and hisses at himself. He's on Prozac and it has helped a little bit.

[Meowmie707]

I have put my CH little girl on Cosequin and it has made a lot of differance in how she feels. She is stiff stiff and wobbely but her personailty has changed just due to her feeling better and she is a lot more active. Something you and anyone with a CH baby might want to consider. You can get a 90 supply online for less that $20. The change in my girl is remarkable!

[khymera915]

Both my cats have CH. Sometimes it's difficult to tell that there's something wrong with my female; she's just a little klutzy sometimes. My male seems to be on a level with Baz.

They're wonderful pets and my vet assures me that they're just as healthy and smart as any normal cat, and will live as long.

[TightPinkPanther]

I applaud you for taking care of your Ch kitties. I have been fostering for a rescue for 5 yrs and a momma cat had 3 of them. One died 3 wks later and the second one died almost a yr later. I still have the third and he is happy and healthy and will probably live for a long time. I didn't feel comfortable adopting him out bc they are alot of work so I will have him furr-ever!

[catlover810]

i hope zangaro and baz are happy and safe with you

[melekeen]

I wonder if cats with this disease ever get annoyed because they can't walk normally.. Or do they even realise it?

[queenbunnywitch]

i wonder too, it looked like the 2nd one was trying really hard to walk normally.

[Hans021220]

I hope your cat has recovered well.

[chaoticrach]

Your cats are sooo gorgeous! they seem like they would be the sweetest companions! makes me wish i had a cat

[mrkittykare]

you and your cats are great i do fostering and have house full of cat with issues,i would love to see more on these two wonderfull cats.

[gabslake]

I know people who only have CH cats. Cause they tend to be the sweetist cats. i have two ...dizzytheo

[Danix2006]

My more sincere thanks to the person of the video, she looks like to me deserving someone of the best of the world, to be so good and so affectionate with the animals it seems to me to be slightly marvellous.

They are a few precious cats and are very happy.

Thank you friend

[nikkilubbsu]

[superjuan109]

Someone has given him wine

[nikkilubbsu]

lol

[macoyo]

ohhhh, is a good person, the responsable of video, beatiful cats ;).

[universonoro]

eso en mi pueblo se llaman GATOS BORRACHOS

[superjuan109]

The dance of the second cat is wonderful!! What a rap!! EMINEM wouldn't be capable of doing it!!

[polosao]

They are really cute :D

After all they are perfect to us

[Ryan18181]

It's bueatiful to see these cats been given a chance, some people wouldn't look twice perfection is too important to people these days. I bet these cats love you more because you gave them a chance. :)

[gamberra6]

Really cuttie cats!

You and your cats deserve the bets of life!

[mikeljones]

congratulations. that cat is really amazing!!! and so sweet!!

Tomorrow we are going to get a black tabby from the animalshelter, her name is Chundarata (as its too long i think ill rename her Koi), she has no eyes due to an herpes, but i'm sure she´ll have a normal life, just as her two older sisters, "Far" and "Negu". we're really exited and wanted to share with other cat lovers!.

[sivazh]

Thanks for giving them a good home. Too many animals, especially cats which I absolutely love, don't have good homes.

[Raukoguth]

Oh god! Now if someone tell me they have a CH cat I'll ask them to give it to me if they don't want it! There's no need of a perfect cat, those are lovely!

[crawlingkitty]

Your kitties are adorable...I too have a CH kitty and they're just wonderful :)

[PawBadReligion]

they're so sweet!

[emspixie]

Bless them! And you! Your are a great kitty mom! They love you, they work so hard to follow you around, and they think nothing of it.

[sacredneko]

It's so nice to have a good video of adult cerebellar kitties! The one I have posted is of when my cats were about 3 or 4 months old, and Maru certainly has gotten a lot better with adjusting to the world and her CH within the last 3 years. All kittens are clumsy; CH kittens just look as if they're having more trouble. They're only kittens for a few months, after all! No need to carpet your entire house; just supervise for the first few months.

[silkengirl]

I have four CH kitties variously affected by CH and this reminds me of all of them. They so bravely adjust without feeling sorry for themselves. And they are so sweet as though they appreciate what life is all about. And to think that these cats used to be routinely euthanized as kittens. Argh!!!

[goosiecat]

what a great kitty mommy!!!!!! i love your cats- cats are the sweetest animals, and yours are extra sweet!

[georgiabiker]

Is that a huge belch at the beginning of the video? :-O haha

[swmbkrn33]

Yup...boyfriend :) hahaha

[treydude]

The first kitty (Baz I think?) has some sweet sock markings :P
