A week or two ago, the kitten was sleeping in a chair next to me and I wanted to wake him up for some reason. His eyes were screwed shut and his mouth was wide open. So I shake the chair, and his body wobbles a bit but he himself doesn't move. So I start going OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK and after i shake him a bit, he opens his eyes all like 'what?'
I didn't think much of it aside from not getting much sleep that night ;< but now yesterday he was laying next to his cat tree and I pick him up and he's way more limp than usual, but conscious. I put him on a shelf and he just sorta slips under his weight and falls over on his side. I'm thinking that maybe the new shelf is too slippery for kittens so I put him on the carpet. He takes one step with his left paw, puts it on his right, then slumps over again. I start freaking out again and carry him over to his food and water and shake him a bit. He starts to walk normally and then a half hour later he's trotting around and darting at nothing like usual.
But I was really concerned and had Emily call the vet today. She told me this afternoon that the vet said that if it is a medical problem that it could either be a seizure or brain leision, but as a cat it's most likely the latter.
Now if you ask me, anything that involves the word 'brain' in connection with kitty problems spells me crying for a month :< So I would like all of yous' completely uninformed diagonsis so I can feel better :<
Some pictures of the kitten if you don't know who he is ;<
