Medical problem or just different?

I have a white, blued eyed deaf cat. He will be 2 years old in March, and I’ve had him since he was 3 weeks old (he is a “foster fail”).

Every since he was a small kitten he has been quite clumsy and cannot jump very high. When he does jump (only about 2 feet) he sort of pops up, like on a trampoline, with all four paws up at the same time (hopefully that makes sense). I always just figured that he was just different and it wasn’t a problem. Anyone else have a cat like this? I’m wondering if I should bring his clumsiness and jumping issues up to his vet.

If you can get a video of him doing this, it would definitely be worth showing your Vet the next time you are in for a visit.

As he is 2, it is worth showing the vet and/or post here to see if anyone has some ideas if your vet doesn't know.
