What a good puss! He has cerebellar hypoplasia, so, as the clip says, his motor skills aren't so hot.

We had a special kitty once, her name was Charlotte. A beautiful longhair calico. Her mother was an alley cat, and was caught outside in a severe cold snap when pregnant, which can produce reformed kittens. She had most of her toes missing, and those she had were all sort of fused together. So, she couldn't move very fast, just sort of hopped about, but she managed quite well, actually. I met her two brothers once, they had extra toes, strangely, but they also had serious digestive problems, whereas Charlotte's only trouble was in her feet. Otherwise, she was perfectly healthy, a little tubby, and had the loudest purr ever, which would start up when you walked into the room. She had a good life, but she's been gone four years now. We still miss her.

Anyone else with special pets?
