Here is "Gordon" as a kitten and later as an adult (today) at the end of the video (15 months old). He was birthed by his mother in the rafters of a barn, and fell down from the nest, then he was taken in by us. Although his condition may be due to the fall, it has the symptoms of Feline Cerebellar Hypoplasia. It's almost like his hind motor skills are separate from his front. As a kitten he would frequently flip over forward (seen once in the video).
We now nickname him "Dink" because on hard floors his deliberate footsteps are "dink, dink..." As an adult he is able to function fine, not all cats with this condition are so lucky. The only thing special about his care is blocking him from stairs to another level of the house with a baby gate. The more he is able to concentrate on his standing/walking/running, the better he is able to do. When his attention is diverted, that's when he tends to fall over.
This cat is very people friendly brings us a lot of love. The black cat in the video is blind, and it's the same story with him. Please give imperfect animals a chance!

Sorry, I'm no help, but if it makes you feel any better, the spontaneous pooping is a problem with my cat too - so you're not alone!
As far as food goes, my cat is more interested in dry food throughout the day than wet/canned food once a night. When he does eat wet/canned food he only eats a small amount and then scratches at the floor and wall around the food as if he's covering it up in the litterbox. I have no idea why though!
I also had a cat like this, a beautiful red and white cat. Living in a small village, he was free to go everywhere, but usually never too far from home. He was beloved by the whole neighborhood. One sad day, at the age of about 3 years, he was hit by a car and died :-(
