Cats with "crooked heads"

Meet Ruby (Adopted!), Rusty, and Madeline. These cats have feline vestibular syndrome which causes them to walk around with a "crooked head." It's a rather cute symptom of a not-so-cute disease. It's caused by an inner ear problem that could be an infection or even a tumor. Sometimes it's unknown what caused the disease. It usually corrects itself within a few days, but the cat can be left with a permanent head tilt, seen here in three of our cats at Tabby's Place.
UPDATE: Cute lil Ruby has been adopted to her forever home!

We just took my cat to the vet. we still don't know what is wrong. they say it might be a stroke or vestibulars disease. i don't know which one is worse, but my cat is getting worse and worse everyday. My cat has a crooked head and keeps falling down. we think he might of went blind and he wont eat or drink. I'm scared we might have to put him down :'(

I'm so sorry. I hope your cat is okay.

Definitely take her to the vet to ask what he or she thinks is best for this situation.

My poor kitty has this. We don't know how it happened, she just got really sick and that's what happened. I was told cats can get it from eating lizards. My cat always would catch lizards.

It took about 6 days for the cat to regain it's balance and stop falling down, she still has a bit of a crooked neck but other then that she's fine.
