Thabj you for submitting your question regarding your kittens. I am sorry to hear about their condition. There is a disease known as cerebellar hypoplasia that results in progressive neurological signs in kittens. This could be the case for them. It is a congenital problem were the brain is malformed. In this case, there is no cure, but many kittens adapt just fine. Of course, there are other neurological diseases so it is difficult to say. Good luck!
