My kitten has shaky back legs since birth. What's wrong?

Question

My little kitten named Shakey, has very Shakey back legs. He's had them ever since he was born. He still walks around but not very fast. He acts like a normal cat besides the Shakey legs. He's seems to be very healthy too. I thing he is either weak on he has nerve problems. I just want to know what's wrong with him. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered

Without an exam it would be hard to say what is wrong. If this is something he's had since birth, congenital issues such as cerebellar hypoplasia can sometimes cause symptoms like poor coordination, but the cats are otherwise happy, healthy and enjoy full lives. Other muscular or nerve issues, illnesses, or injuries may also cause coordination problems, so it is always a good idea to rule out any health issues with your vet that may be treatable.
