My 3-month-old kitten is stumbling, trembling, and uncoordinated. Why?

Question

Hello, my cat who will be 3 month old in four days, has been showing some weird behaviour since this Monday. She stumbles a lot while walking and cannot properly aim at her toys, like she is having some misjudgement. Also at some moments she is trembling like for a minute or two. Despite not falling from somewhere, she is showing the same symptoms as a cat who fell. But everything else is normal. I would like to know what’s wrong with her and what I should I do. Thanks in advance. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 27 days old

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Gini. There is a chance she has condition known as cerebellar hypoplasia based on your description of her behavior. She will need to see a veterinarian to determine if this is the case or if something is affecting her. For example, has she been exposed to any toxins? In the meantime, monitor her food and water intake to ensure she is still receiving enough despite the tremors. I hope this information helps!
