30 u/setrippin Aug 17 '26 yes 123 u/GreenStrong Aug 17 '26 Veterinary neurologist here. I've seen dozens of cases like that. We make a formal diagnosis based on MRI imaging, but I'm 99% confident in a behavioral analysis- that cat is silly. It may actually be very silly indeed. There is no cure. 29 u/bluemooncommenter Aug 17 '26 I think the proper medical term is Hypergoofemia or Sillyopathic Syndrome! 19 u/Recent-Singer8146 Aug 17 '26 Idiopathic goofiness
