Title: Walking in circles
Post by: princesskasren on December 16, 2013, 20:51:12 PM

Hiya, so I have had Oscar for almost 8 months now but in the last month I have noticed him pacing around and around in circles. Now we haven;t moved house. I haven't moved anything around he doesn't have any other symptoms and he eventually stops but sometimes he does it for like 10 minutes. Is this a blind cat thing? He may have done it before and I just never noticed?

I think you need to get him checked at the vet , it can be a balance/ear problem

...but he walks around normally the rest of teh time...no staggering or bumping into things or balance issues?

You need to get him checked by a professional............we are not vets.............there could be all type of brain related stuff going on that you cant see.

If it was my cat , it would have been at the vet immediately , so suggest you take him first thing tomorrow. 
Could be something bad !
