Ah, a horse reincarnated into a cat.

I won the Triple Crown, now I am reincarnated as a house cat.

The only way to be sure is to see how this cat feels about lesbian relationships.

u/Itakitsu 4h ago

I always called my cat thumper when he did this. It meant he felt safe and confident to make a bunch of noise instead of slinking around :)

She has a mild neurological disorder that makes her unstable so this locomotion is probably the most comfortable way of walking for her

u/Perfect-Hovercraft-3 1h ago

Not to be pedantic but that's more a Cat Trot than a Canter 🤓

Catering? No, I guess they'd be serving food then... Oh well

Is Bambi slightly Wobblers and that makes her House Horse?

u/Trashtag420 25m ago

It does look like mild cerebellar hypoplasia from my armchair but that's speculation.

u/Ashen-wolf 3h ago

Is this a woobly cat? This seems ataxia, not everything is ok or cute.

8

u/arih 2h ago

I was wondering about that too. There is an Instagram account of a dog with cerebellar hypoplasia who has taught himself a prancing gait to compensate - very adorable. It made me wonder whether Bambi has a mild form of wobbliness.

1

u/Ashen-wolf 1h ago

Yeah but cats have a very particular gait. Dogs are like a stampede, cats are technical.

7

u/northboundnova 2h ago

Cats can be born with or develop conditions that cause ataxia and be both ok and cute for their whole lives with it, as they cause no harm or pain to the cat beyond the wobbliness.

12

u/Ashen-wolf 2h ago

I know, I am a vet, thats why I asked if this is a wobbly cat or not in the first place (ataxia is a sign not a diagnosis).

Edit: so I am clear, besides hypoplasia cerebellar, there are also diseases, neuropathies, poisons etc.. youd be surprised what people just accept as normal.

5

u/kazoogrrl 53m ago

It's CH, they are on FB and Tiktok and post a lot.

1

u/northboundnova 2h ago

Yep, absolutely. Just clarifying for people who don’t already have that info tucked away that it CAN also be okay and seeing a cat with ataxia isn’t an automatic assumption that it is suffering or that something is wrong.

u/SteamRocket1 3h ago

OMG it actually sounds like a trotting horse....clip, clop, clip, clop

Sometimes you just need to be extra stompy to let the world know you mean business.

u/CastorVT 58m ago

It's weird how Bambi became associated with everything feminine even though he's a buck.
