Unfortunately, there are a lot of issues that can cause this, so a vet visit is best. Neurologic issues from birth, muscular or nerve issues in the body, illnesses, toxicities, etc are all potential causes that could cause a cat to not be able to walk, stand, or fall over. A full vet visit is a good idea to help figure out what the problem is and provide appropriate treatment.
