No one was going to adopt this cat. It has the feline equivalent of ataxia, which means its nervous system doesn't work very well. It does not so much walk as lurch, tumble, careen, somersault and generally spaz out. It is particularly painful to watch him tumble into the litterbox, fall over and then try desperately to bury whatever it's made, generally burrying himself as much as anything else. Or when he falls into his water bowl, and wants to run away because like most cats he hates being wet, and the more worked up he gets the less he can control his body.

He has a sweet personality, and wisely spends much of his time just lying there not trying to move.

I want to make him training wheels, or pontoons or something, to stabalize him.

We haven't named him yet. We are listing famous drunks, as this is what he looks like.
