Lu Lou has long silky white hair and the markings of a calico. Her initial appearance mirrors a normal cat. When she walks you will notice a slight sway (swagger!) in her rear end. Her functionality is excellent. All radiology tests were considered within normal range. It is possible that she has a very mild case of Cerebella Hypoplasia. *** She just wags that back end in the cutest way.
Lu Lou is extremely affectionate and thrives on human attention.
Can she play? Oh yes, she bats the little felt balls around, hides behind doors, then shuts them!! She loves climbing up her cat tree and watching the birds and squirrels. (Photo shows bird watching) Remember that saying, they wiggle and they waggle but they will not fall down. (well maybe once in a while) That is our Lu Lou.
Seems to be okay with quiet non- confrontational cats
Please consider meeting her. It will be love at first sight.
***Cats with cerebellar hypoplasia have a good prognosis for quality and length of life. Since the condition is not progressive or fatal, symptoms will not worsen over time or affect the overall lifespan of your cat. Cats with cerebellar hypoplasia will live the same length of time as non-affected cats and have no other behavioral abnormalities or health issues as a result of the condition.
