hi i just read a post from you on another thread. you say you have a cat that has brain damage, can i ask you how you know this? one of my cats is 2 and half and im convinced he has brain damage too. he is always very wobbly, has never been able to walk straight, his constantly wobbles and is very very panicy. he doesnt respond to you calling him at all unless you get eye contact with him. he is not deaf tho. have taken him to the vets in the past and he didnt seem to have any ideas about his panic attacks, he gave me diazepam to give to him to calm him down but only gave it to him once cause he could not even stand up and seemed even more panicy, bless him sorry for such a long post. im interested to hear from you tho. thanks, gem.

We knew from the start she was ill as she was the runt of the litter and had to be bottle fed her mum didnt want anything to do with her (as is often the case). When she started feeding her head wobbled from side to side and most of the food ended up on the floor, she is only small for her age and has always had poor eye sight. I asked a vet about it once and she said she wouldn't live a long life, obviously she was wrong as she is still going strong after all these years. She can sometimes be unsteady on her feet and panics now and again and we have found she will not entertain a well kitten being brought into the house but will love any poorly kittens we have had (sounds silly but its true). There are some decent web sites on illness in cats these days if you go to ask.co.uk and type in cat care you should find help there. Hope this helps put your mind at rest ....snigsthecat
