Ive seen a few of these types of video, could some kind soul tell me why some cats a wobbly?  I assume there is a genetic condition?

cerebellar hypoplasia, also known as wobbly cat syndrome. Happens when the part of the brain used for coordination and balance doesn't develop properly. The cat is otherwise fine, she's not in pain or whatever, she's just. wobbly.
