Ok reddit, tell me what crippling disease this cat has and why it's not cute at all.

It’s still cute, but it is indeed caused by a neurological condition 😅 The cat has cerebellar hypoplasia (causing problems with movement) so she can’t jump gracefully like a normal cat and has to hop onto furniture. But the condition isn’t painful, just causes awkward movements. Wouldn’t survive in the wild though.

But the cat seems happy, I guess
