so since this particular kitten is now 2 weeks old, im able to realize theres a lot diffent with him. his body is awkward-really hard to explain but i'll try anyways. while the others are walkingish. he does this crawl like thing and his legs are a big odd looking (not deformed but... just not like a kitten should) its like his back legs stretch out far back and as apart as they can get and kinda looks like a frog when in mid swim. and his front paws look like a cat stuck to something and hanging down. he pulls himself with his front paws as his back pushes him. he kinda looks more like a lizard with his back end swing he gets when going. he doesnt sit up like the others have already mastered.
he also shakes and hes not cold. he only doesnt shake when hes not using any muscles.
hes also got a diffrent feel to him. like the way his chest feels (more bulky than the others) and hes not heavier than the others but he tends to put all his weight on his upper chest so he has more dead weight on me when i pick him up.
he seemed a bit diffrent mentally from the others too. and his face structure looks weird for a kitten. like his head is broader-ish and his eyes are in the right spot, but his nose and mouth look a bit lower(downward long) than the normal kittens(or any ive seen). he doesnt have the moveability (like he will fall and tumble and roll back on his back and he doesnt ever have that gracefulness that cats or his sibilings have. he also has a diffent meow. he never hisses. but his meows can be scratchy and squeaky or most of the time you just hear a lost voice kinda sound. he also chews on his front paws and arms a lot.
he also had his eyes open from the start(i thought it might of happened during one of the early times that she licked him but i dont know for sure-it was the only thing i could come up with)
he used to have breathing problems when stressed out but that has gotten much better. and his pink eye issue is almost completely gone. other than that he seems pretty healthy and extremely sweet and a little playful the past few days.
theres another in the litter who have this shakey head thing but only when finding a nipple. and that just started the past week.
has anyone seen this in a kitten before? does anyone know what it could be or whats likely to be wrong with him?
