What Makes Cats with Cerebellar Hypoplasia Special | #WobblyWednesday
As you probably know, I could go on and on for days about why cats with cerebellar hypoplasia are so special. Sophie has such a positive attitude, she doesn’t let her “disability” get in the way of anything, she has more determination than any creature I’ve ever known, she is the bravest cat around, she is friend to all, she loves hard, strong, and unconditionally… see, I told you I could go on and on. However, while Sophie is definitely special and unique (as all cats are), these characteristics are not unique to Sophie. For assistance in explaining just what exactly makes CH cats special, I reached out to the Cerebellar Hypoplasia Cats & Kittens Facebook Group. What better way to help fulfill Sophie’s birthday wish! Here is what my fellow CH cat parents had to say about their kitties:
“Alexandra (mild CH) is our cute baby, she is a great “climber”!” –Виктория
“My McDermott is 17 years old and has been with me since he was a kitten. He has taught me so much about many things: tenacity, patience, going with the flow, determination, perseverance and love. He is my buddy, friend, companion and baby. He is indeed one special cat!❤” –Debbie
“This is my wobble baby Dexter, he loves cuddle time (but not as much as I do!!)” –Lucia
“My baby Yuri, who has taught me everything about perseverance, unconditional love, optimism and dignity. Forever in my heart ❤️” –Vanessa
“My CH kitty is the best because for some unknown reason she thinks I am wonderful and she loves me with all her heart. I have never met another creature as sweet and loving as Cucumber.” –Kandylynn
As you can see, CH kitties are just special across the board! I feel truly blessed to have Sophie in my life, as it will forever be changed for the better.
Happy #WobblyWednesday everyone, and don’t forget to flood the interwebs with #WobblyWednesday posts today for Sophie’s birthday wish!

Happy birthday beautiful Sophie!
I have met two wobbly CH cats at the shelter over the years. They were playful sweet-natured happy cats with great personalities and no idea that there was any problem. And the best part is that they were adopted by people who loved them.

I wonder if this is what the barn cat my buddy was raising had. It was a very wobbly kitten. I will have to send this to him, and see if he still has that kitten! They are so so cute! Let no disability get you down!
Sam says
Sophie is the first CH kitty we’d met or seen before and just seeing from afar her determination and love of life is inspiring. Thanks for sharing photos and stories of other CH kitties around the world…..there is nothing we can’t do if we’re given the chance. It’s having understanding humans in our lives that lets us fly free no matter what little bumps in the road we face! We hope Sophie has the BEST birthday ever!
Love, Sammy

Chupacabras says
my cat had 5 kittens and ive noticed only one of them is very wobbly it breaks my heart watching her struggle trying to play. With her brothers and sisters shes such a trooper though she runs n is a great climber. Ive seen her try to walk normal but she falls over n ends up completely rolling over my heart just melts watching her do this my husband tells me not to get attached. But theres something about her that makes me love her more n more Im not sure if she has ch but from what i have read it might be is there anyway i can help my kitty get better with her walking to have a more productive life ?
