Peanut has Cerebellar Hypoplasia (also known as Wobbly Cat Syndrome), which means she’s delightfully wobbly. She stumbles, she trips, she occasionally wipes out — and then she gets right back up like nothing happened. Her wobble is moderate, but she can go up and down stairs and jump onto beds and couches to claim her favorite spot. Peanut carries strong “get off my lawn” energy. She’s bossy, sure of herself, and not currently accepting feedback. She doesn’t want help — and mostly, she doesn’t need it. That said, because of her long, luxurious coat and her unique coordination style, she does need support with grooming to prevent mats. When she arrived, she needed a little mat removal, which resulted in a very “my foster mom tried her best” haircut. Peanut is not a fan of grooming sessions and makes that very clear, so the trim is a bit choppy — but her stunning coat is growing back nicely. Peanut would thrive in a home with carpet, which gives her extra traction when her back legs slip out from underneath her. She lives with other cats and a big dog and tolerates them, but she would much prefer to be the center of attention. Because wobbly cats can’t fully control their movements, she may occasionally scratch unintentionally, so a home without young children would be best. She will absolutely steal your favorite pillow and sleep next to your head once she decides you’re her person. So you’ll need to have a second favorite pillow on hand.  Cerebellar Hypoplasia is non-progressive and painless. Peanut isn’t fragile or broken — she simply moves through life a little differently. If you’re looking for resilience, personality, and a queen who wobbles with confidence, Peanut is ready to take over your heart (and your pillow).
