Sarge
Age: 12 years
Weight: 11.05 pounds - good body condition
Demeanor at the vet: Nice cat!
On 3/25/05 we got a call from Oakland County Animal Control.
They thought they had a cat with Cerebellar Hypoplasia, and
adult, possibly 1-2 years old. I went to see him. What a
sweetheart. Though he walked strangely (walked on the hocks
of his rear feet, and crossed his front legs when he sat
upright), I didn't think he had CH, but certainly, the rescue
would take him in. We named him Sarge because he walked
flatfooted and sat at attention.

His condition worsened very slowly, to now where he won't
walk unless it is carpeted or a rug put down. So he spends his
day watching the world go by, and napping, on the couch. He
comes down by use of a small carpeted staircase, to his cage
with his litter pan and waterproof mattress covers.
Occasionally he is joined by one of his furry siblings for a
nap. He talks to us all the time and comes to lean against
you if you sit on "his" couch. He will chat with you for 15
or 20 minutes, responding to each statement or question you
make to him. He doesn't have a normal cat life, but he is
very content in the life he has. We enjoy his company and his
furry grandmother makes it a point of visiting with him when
she comes over.
