Has she EVER been checked out by a vet? Her balance is off – which means she may have ear mites, an ear infection or some sort of neurological problem – all of which warrant a trip to the vet.
edit: is it just me or are you making excuses NOT to have her checked out? You can’t always tell a cat has ear mites. Do you have an otoscope? I’m thinking this post wasn’t to ask what to do – moreso to justify just "letting it be" and doing NOTHING.
Perhaps you should stop dropping it.
Contrary to all the olde wives tales, cats don’t always lad on their feet. Oh, they will attempt to, but they will fail on occasion.
I had one cat that fell of a 2 1/2 story balcony and it landed on it’s arsse and cracked it’s hip.
My 1 1/2 year old female broke a tree branch last year and fell on her side which broke three ribs and rendered her unconscious for 1/2 an hour which was a good thing. The vet told us that if she had woken up before we got her to to the vets she could have punctured a lung.
something is probably wrong with your cats ears.
No. Absolutely not. You should drown the kitten in bleach to put it out of it’s misery.
Just take her to the vet. We obviously can’t provide 100% correct answers. Just keep her from jumping a lot until you’re able to get her checked out by your vet. It doesn’t matter if you’ve already got her checked out before. Go to the vets again, and they’ll tell you what’s wrong. She could have a balance issue, which is caused by different things. So, your safest bet is to just GET HER CHECKED OUT BY A VET. easy peesy
