Much better! You can still kind of tell a little bit, when he walks one of his legs drags a little (most people don't notice). He also is a little clumsy and won;t jump up high heights like most cats
So cute!!! How is he doing now? You have a big heart to have fostered then adopted. I am fostering a feral Tuxedo cat with her 3 kittens... see my videos at ccookla. They are now about 3 to 4 weeks old.
The last thing to develop in a kitten while they are in the womb is their motor cortex or nervous system. So most commonly when Cerebellar Hypoplasia is found in kittens its because the mother got an illness called "Distemper" in her last trimester and it damaged or stop the development of their motor cortex. So they end up unable to control their legs when they walk, they look wobbly or drunken. Distemper can be passed on to the kittens and they can die. In George's case his siblings all died.
its occurs when the mother gets very sick in her last trimester of pregnancy and the kitten's nervous system doesn't develop properly so they can be very wobbly
Thank you for providing a loving home!
