Cat Balance is Overrated...

Being a cat with balance is overrated sometimes. I mean, look at this little guy: Sure he's cute, sure he's got fabulous balance on that beam -- but he can't reach that fun thing he wants to play with because he's so busy trying not to fall off.


So who needs balance, right? If he would just stay safely on the floor, he could just grab and play with his tail and toys any old time!

Which brings us to today's Less Adoptable Pet Week challenge pet -- it's BooBoo, a sweet, gorgeous love of a kitten who is just a little wobbly. The vets think BooBoo suffered a little bit of mild brain trauma in utero, but aside from sometimes losing his footing, he's a perfect little kitten!

Sometimes when he gets a little too excited or gets going a little too fast, he loses his balance -- but he quickly rights herself and keeps right on playing like nothing ever happened. He eats normally, plays normally, sleeps normally... just like a normal kitten!

And did I mention that BooBoo is beautiful?! A stunning slate gray kitten -- just like a Russian Blue!

BooBoo is currently in Fort Wayne, Indiana at H.O.P.E. for Animals. (H.O.P.E. stands for Humane Organization for the Prevention of Euthenasia!) You can see more info about BooBoo - -and a video of him playing! -- on his Petfinder page.

Won't someone give this special kitty the special home he deserves?

Won't you take me home? Purrrrlease?

  1. That's hilarious! The kitten trying to play with his tail is so funny!

    It reminded me of this video of cat parkour, where cats do extraordinary movements. http://www.thedailytail.com/videos/cat-parkour/

    This kitty will get there some day.

    Praying for BooBoo to get a forever home soon. She looks just like a Russian Blue I had many years ago! Miss her!

  6. Thank you for spotlighting a cerebellar hypoplasia kitty!!! These "wobbly" kitties are absolutely amazing. They have varying degrees of disability, but live their lives to the max. I was SOOOOO lucky to have a foster kitty with this once and giving her up, out of all my fosters, was the absolute hardest. Don't let their wobbly antics fool you, these kitties are SMART and they will totally take advantage if you let them. :-)
