Chartreux Shaking Steven
I got Stevie, who is now 3-4 years old, from the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals - a big UK animal charity). The first time we met he was in the Infirmary as he had cat flu and conjunctivitis. The assistant told me that he had some form of neurological damage which caused his head and front paws to shake intermittently (hence the name Shaking Steven)
I was very lucky as someone had agreed to re-home him but changed their mind that day due to his disability and probably because he bit them as he did me every time I visited for the following 6 weeks.
Initially Stevie found it hard to walk more than 2 steps without sitting down but 12 months on he runs around on his stumpy little legs, climbs stairs and can jump about 2 feet in height. He was very under weight and had to have a special diet as his stomach was very dodgy when he came home but now he's fine and is very pudgy even though we watch his food.
