My kitten's head shakes when tracking. Is this normal or concerning?

Question

My kitten does an interesting thing with her head. When she follows something with her eyes she moves her head around and can't follow it well. I am just wondering if it is something she will grow out of or is it something to be concerned about? Pet's info: Cat | American Longhair | Female | spayed | 3 months and 12 days old | 8 lbs

She may have some mild cerebellar hypoplasia. I suggest you take her to your vet for an exam. I recommend you videotape her doing this behavior so you can show that video to your vet in case Cleo is not doing it during the exam. Here is a link to an article about CH in cats.
