Meet My New Furbabies Crash And Bumbles, special needs-Cerebellar Hypoplasia Options

[ann]

Hello Everyone, Dave and I adopted 2- 8mo old cats with CH disorder. As some of you know, Dave was very adament about not adopting anymore. This was totally his decision. He did not want me to have anymore outdoor cats. This favors everyone, I get to learn that indoor is O.K, he doesn't have to worry, and they get lots of love.
CH causes them to wobble and fall alot. They "peck" at their food because thier dept perception is poor. Once they find the right spot they are fine. They tend to be messy eaters. When they use the litter pan, they lie on thier sides, because thier balance is off. This is messy too. Bumbles can clean herself, but Crash needs to be wiped. Sometimes Bumbles will help too.
Bumbles is very affectionate and playful, Crash is still a little shy, but when he comes out from hiding he does well. Bumbles like to attack Crash when he's not looking. They put on quite a show.
This is Bumbles:

They will never replace my Arthur, nor mend my broken heart, but they will help me to heal.
The night we got them, I felt like I was missing Arthur more than usual (if that is even possible)
Anyone ever felt that way?

Looking forward to many happy memories..Hugs to all..Ann
