Took my kitten into the vets. He has a genetic ligament problem. His sister has it to a small degree. There's really nothing that can be done since he's adjusting well on his own. He just looks like he has flippers/paddles instead of feet. But, he's so cute and loveing. I know I wouldn't trade him for the world. Anyhwo, we're making adjustments to the floors in the house to give him an extra grip when walking. Any other ideas anyone has that will help out Bubbles, I'd appreciate it.

My kitty condo I built has ramps to each level. It has 4 levels to the ceiling. My guys never use the ramps but if they had a ligament problem they would.

If you have space build a ramp up to the ceiling along a wall.

Think like a person with a wheelchair, they will only use what they need.

Thanks! I didn't even think about ramps for him to go up and down on. Right now we have a big area rug we put down when he's out and he loves to "run" on it. He can now keep up with his little sister and beat her up.
