My cat came back wobbly, falling, and head tilted. What should I do?

Question

There are alot of Tnr cats in my neighborhood. One black one was best friends with another one and they were always both together around our house. We always feed them. One of them disappeared for a week and we were very worried since they're never apart. He finally came back but is very off. No sign of bleeding or anything but he wobbles, falls over, has head a little tilted, and meows (rare). Eyes look normal. He's eating fine but I'm very scared and worried. What could it be? What can I do? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered

Head tilting and falling over is normally due to a disease that affects the nervous system, or the inner ear. This is often due to head trauma or an infection. In order to further diagnose the condition, a vet would need to evaluate Muffin. You can take Muffin to a private vet, but will have to pay for the visit. If you can't pay for the charge, then you can bring him to a local shelter like the humane society. They also have vets that can evaluate him and ensure the best course of treatment is done. Either way, it's important that he sees a vet to ensure he doesn't suffer, or have life-threatening complications. I hope that helps and all is well with Muffin.
