What's wrong with my kitty?

I adopted my wonderful kitten at birth but he is troubled by an apparent birth defect. My vet doesn't know what's wrong. Does anyone out there know? please let me know.
added later.... thank you all for your input. Thanks to a response from a visitor, it appears that my kitten has a birth defect similar to one common among Devon-Rex cats(although this is NOT a Devon-Rex cat, this abnormality can appear in other breeds of cats also)..which is a type of hereditary myopathy. If any of you have any other ideas let me know! thanks

your cat is so beautiful. it has bright eyes, a fine coat and beautiful markings. it seems to be able to function fairly normally too,so jst take extra special care of it and luv it all the more. jst lik i do wit my cat. she had a troubled birth and her back legs dont seem to operate right.her balance is awful,standin without fallin is hard 4 her. but we love her lik a baby bcoz she's so diff. hope your cat has a long and happy life with u

He seems to have overgrown bones in his shoulder joints. It's not necessarily common but it can lead to severe spinal injury, especially to the neck and upper back. He also seems to always be looking down towards the floor to correct his balance or to alieviate pain. But I agree that your cat is not of the Devon-Rex, but it's possible to have it corrected by surgery

the cat doesnt like the collar try take it off

[tadbowie]

he may have a inadequate amount of spinal fluid to keep his spine straight which is why his shoulder blades are so far away from his spine.

Wow! I 've never seen this before. Thanks for putting it on and I hope he does well in life.

You cat seems to have normal movements. But by his constant stopping maybe of the fugitive of his shoulder blades. He may not have alot of endurance Either. is a Heredity issue. I don't see much of discomfort, so fracturing is a slim chance to none.

But just for thought has the cat gotten into any sort of injury? involving his front limbs? It could be friction or just a shifting if he was injured.

aww : ( poor baby

[kz09]

it looks like his shoulder blades are really big

[Fishstixj4l]

its probably just has high raised shoulder inputs. retorically; its not a problem, i wouldnt actually say its a birth defect. probably genetic, unfortunate that you addopted her, (you might be able to get a strait answer if its genetic by a quick glance at the parents).
