I had a cat that had an inner ear problem and it sounds just like what your cat is doing. It wasn't too expensive and they gave me drops to put in his ear. It cleared up pretty quick, even if my arms didn't from all the clawing. That's a reallt cute cat, btw. |

Edit: Just asked my sister. She's in vet school. She said: "The stumbling symptoms sound like it could be an inner ear problem which could be affecting the cat's balance. Other than that without seeing the cat myself I'd have to say it could be seizures. I'm tempted to think it's not a tumor in the brain because that would typically cause more of a constant problem and would make the cat a lot less frolicsome all of the time. You should tell your friend that he should take his kitty to a vet, as I'm not yet qualified and I haven't even seen the cat myself. I hope that's at least somewhat helpful". Well that's actually really inconclusive, sorry. Have someone qualified look at your cat Chojin, it could be really mild but you have no way of knowing until you do. Good luck. |

It depends, it's usually as much as it costs to medically treat humans, though - $45 for the doctor visit, $25 for a rabies vaccine and $25 for a distemperment vaccine last time I went. I mean, last time I brought my cat in. One of our previous cats, Seth, would get urinary blockages, though, and those were $1000 each to treat. The second time we just said 'put im down :<' and the nice vet lady instead adopted him, treated him, and then gave him back to us in the parking lot. Cost her about $90. So yeah, vets overcharge like fuck just because you love your pets ;< and if you can't afford it then they'll just murder them ;< assholes ;< |

| MetalMilitia | If English prices are anything to go by you'll need wealth beyond measure for vets to do anything. Which is a shame because your cat has amusing starey eyes. |

| VolCanon | Thats terrible. Can Vets even do anything about cat brain problems? |

| WhiteRat | My sister is a vet technician. I can give her a call when I get the chance (i'm 14 hours ahead) and see what she has to say. |

I used to have a kitty. I miss it. We had to give it away to some friends of ours because we didnt have the money for it. Now its nearly blind and dying. Its about 17 years old (a year younger than me) I hope to god that your cat isnt in any serious Trouble. |

Have you had the vet check his inner ear? My old dog used to lean to one side and act disoriented. We thought that he had a stroke, but it was just an inner ear problem that was affecting his balance and sense of direction. I hope he's okay. I know what its like to see have sick pet. |

My family cat just died about 2 months ago. Her liver gave out, but my mom didn't know it, so we watched her waste away for 2 weeks before my Mom took her to the vet. The put her down. My mom cried. She was older then my 14yr old brother. |

| Seven Force | I hope the cat will be okay. ;< |

| Fathom Zero | Sorry about your cat. I know how tough dealing with a sick pet is. My dog is about a year away from his last leg and he's all grey and junk. |
