8 months later follow-up to "What's wrong with my kitty?"

[Msnailscutie]

OMG WHY HAVEN'T YOU GONE TO THE VET YET WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU,,!

[Mrnkfr]

Have you taken him/her to the vet? What do they say? Have they taken an x-ray? I wouldn't just rely on what ppl say here...

[nadiacalat]

Poor little boy... He is so cute... Maybe science can find a way to heal him. Who knows? ...

Pet your kitty for me, I wish him well :)

[SyairaLolly98]

Poor poor cat~ /':

[TronixGuy93]

For starters, you might want to remove the collar. I've read a few cases where collars can exaggerate the sensations that a cat feels when suffering from postural asymmetries caused from CNS or musculo-skeletal disorders. If your feeling particularly creative you might consider an orthotic appliance which would allow your cat to develop a more symmetrical muscle tone. Prolonged postural asymmetries can cause CNS disorders, so you'll want to have that looked at by your vet.

[suineg1]

Cant look at this... Im sad

[HaoSci]

shoulder girdle syndrome???

[Pvic]

deformed cat

[bookkeeper57]

No idea what spasticity is, but this otherwise lovely cat appears to have a deformation affecting his shoulder blades. Doesn't look like he has any

problem responding to what comes his way.

[mdunlap2134]

muscular dystrophy? maybe, if cats can have that.

[DaBigEgg]

he seems to put his shoulder up really high, maybe he has some kind of musle weekness were he cant keep his shoulders locked. take him to a vet is the best idea id say, he looks perfectly healty though, he like to play :) thats good

[Thadesgal]

Kitties don't have the ball & socket shoulders. Instead, they're held in place by muscle and tendon. I don't think there's a surgery to correct this although it would seem it would be relatively easy to remedy. Kitty should not jump from high places (yeah, right). Doesn't appear to interfere with his daily pounce. X-tra special kitty! :o )

[ksizer]

He looks like there is something wrong with his shoulders.

[DelicateFynn]

Soo, your cat been working out huh?

[clevii]

Keiko is a lovely boy and seems to enjoy playing and interacting. I hope that his problem does not cause him discomfort and that you will have many years of love and companionship with him.. If your vet participates in something like VIN (Veterinary Inrformation Network, a vets only online group) he/she could post the videos there and see if there are other veterinary professionals who have seen something similar and know what it is.

[Onepasion]

I think the cat is healthy...i see nothing wrong about him!

[helper1029384756]

look at the top of his front legs -.-

[Onepasion]

Yes, i saw it. But that is just the way of walking from the cat. Oke, its not verry normal, but its not treightning..

[alabamadear]

beautiful cat$ .... whatever he has hs still wonderfull

[cuntdork]

What a beautiful boy. I hope he is doing well.

[OfficialWifeys09]

your cats disabled, and his mothers insides were also disabled, so he was like this.

[etherealone]

wow. u da smatest poysen i eva met!

[Torphobia]

Just by more footage of this It looks as though the shoulder blades are angling into his spine(like a triangle) I surprise that it's not causing him any discomfort.

For a suggestion, you should plan an x-ray even if they don't know the condition. And look toward the upper region of his body. If they are sink in like a triangle, they are eroding in and rubbing agianst his spinal cord.

[dummonkey7]

well is the cat in pain???

[gabyraiser]

credo cara, procura uma igreja HUSAUHASHUSAHUSA

[meteorrocket]

If that cat knows what's good for him/her, it had better stay far away from me because I will whoop its butt and kill it.

[biglouie2k8]

Then ill fucking kill you you heartless bastard, go fucking rot in a ditch!

[notna9]

i thing his shoulders are making him have trouble to turn his head

[Chappe87]

pretty cat yaaaay! :P

[trinroberts]

get him fixed

[FunAndRerunTv]

people, there's nothing wrong with him, his bones aren't sticking out, there is no need to "fix" it because there is nothing wrong. it's just feline bone displacement, it's genetic, and it's fine.

[kz09]

adorable cat though...really cute

[kz09]

can they fix it?

[masteras101]

my cat used to have this, i just took it to vet and he said it needs surgery. the surgery is harmless and fast. it will b fast hope i helped

[goyoguardian]

it is hunchback of norte dame

[sunooii]

wats with the shoulders?

[shonaxshona]

Beautiful Cat !!!!!!!!!!!!

Why Are His/Her Shoulder Bones Sticking Out Alot?

[Torphobia]

They don't know...Did you even read the description Geez!!!

[dahalomastafriend]

still verrryyy cute

[GypsySunrise]

Beautiful cat, regardless! =)

[freekypokemonmaster]

epe?

[loudLEE420]

omg, he looks exactly like my lilac point, come see for youself, I swear!

[helldude99]

HIS BREAST IS ON HIS BACK

[MoonBXx]

keiko looks just like my siamese Felix, the way he plays with you is exactly the same for mine =D *not to mention they both have blue colars*

[Panagyra]

that looks painful

[aalexsuprun]

It might be arthritis

[Lhenne1]

Thank you for posting this! My cat was diagnosed with epilepsy, but the vet wasn't completely sure (more tests pending). I'll ask about spasticity because she seems to be aware of her surroundings the way your cat is as well. Apparently cats who have seizures lose awareness during the episode. I appreciate the info!

[shaneboi37]

you cat is haveing seizures i jst konw bc whats what they are

[sweetcharlie63]

people, it's called a genetic disorder, otherwise, the cat looks healthy and happy.

[TLLSpencer]

read the description people

[annettemarie1969]

Its a very scary kitty, i think its broken

[makotomikami]

That cat works out

[briinboyboo]

an overgrown bone? my cat has it too extra cartlidge

[XxXLOUiiZEXxX]

not bein funny, ur cat is gorgeous but u seriously arent capable of having a cat if u cant get him to a vet, its like if ur child was ill would u film it and put it on youtube for answers? i think not somehow. DUHHH

[sweetcharlie63]

wow have you got alot to learn in life. to compare filming a cat that has a genetic disorder to filming an ill child has no comparison.

[latexkatey]

If you saw the first video you would know that the cat HAS been taken to the vet, and vets did not know what was wrong with her. I assume this what a last ditch effort to find out, and a great idea at that what with so many animal lovers on youtube.

[my1gremmy]

keiko is a beautiful cat, love him and take care of him and he should never have preoblems with his legs. he has a lovely personality.

[SonicandKhfan]

ask a vet abour that and cute cat

[smacd84]

It looks to me that this cat has no tendons or ligaments keeping the joint in place properly, your cat needs an MRI.

[Lilly8842]

his lower arms are just abnormally short, that's all

[cranialurination]

Has anyone (like your vet) suggested scapulohumeral muscular dystrophy as the cause?

[nathalyisabel23]

Tu gato se fatiga mucho, al tener esa mala posicion de la columna. No le hagas saltar de lugares altos. Esa cosa que se mueve mucho en su espalda debe ser un musculo fuera de lugar por la escoleosis gatuna.

[nathalyisabel23]

hi, i hope that you can traslate my mail spanish to english: Hola, acabo de ver tu video y creo que tu gato tiene cierta curvatura exagerada a la altura de los homoplatos. Tambien note cierta debilidad en sus patas delanteras al momento de amortiguar su caida al saltar del mueble. Te sugiero que no le hagas jugar mucho porque veo que despues de dar un par de saltitos juguetones, cae fatigado al suelo. Dale calcio para que fortalezca sus huesos y mucho amor. Saludos.

[WretchedLives]

Such a pretty kitty! I wanna hug him

[wheeloffortunefan]

What's the hissing cat's name? What does the cat look like?

[TamsintheAlmighty]

He's a gorgeous kitty and looks really happy. Take good care of him ^^

[theemrod]

Nice cat. You should not let him on the kitchen work surface though as that is not hygienic.

[grizelda1986]

as long as he's not in any pain then i think it's alright - just don't let him breed or he might pass it on

P.S ... HE SO CUTE!! =^.^=

[deidra120288]

you should really take your cat to the vet... if there is anything to do they can do it. your cat is really cute and i learned the hard way about taking cats to the vet (my cat just died in the end july)

[Landhermie]

I think he should see a vet about this...

[JadedRuby]

I'm so sorry about your kittie. I am a cat breeder and this is most definately hereditery myopathy, sometimes called incorrectly "spasticity". The problem with this type of muscle weakness is it is all the way through the neck. So sometimes a cat will die way early simply from choking. The best you can do to assure this kittie has as long of a life is to babysit her while she eats. Usually a year or two into this the cat chokes accidentally. Again I'm so sorry.

[star0157]

thanks for your note. The other message I received which was useful was about hereditary myopathy in DevonRex cats. Although mine is not a DevonRex, the symptoms sounded nearly identical to what my cat has- and they also note that the general cause of death is choking. Again, thanks for your note. Paul

[hottyH07]

i dont think he should see a vet hes sooo cute and soo happy that hes fine the way he is. but if you dont want him ill have him look at him! .

[DobermannDeimos]

has he seen a vet? i think he reely should.
