Ok, it has been awhile since I have been on, but I have to ask if anyone else has ever dealt with this.
Our male Dakota is our "special" kitty. Because of some brain damage from birth(his front and back feet don't talk to one another) and seizures when he was very young, we keep a close eye on him. We have noticed that he is not "cleaning" himself, he made clean his front feet, but nothing else. Tonight we gave him a bath...outside of cleaning his front feet, I did the rest. He is very "clumsey" when trying to clean himself and I am wondering if we are going to have groom him every day because of this odd behavial.
My husband and I have both had cats all our lives and this is the first one either of us has ran into that does not clean themselves. Basicly is he is a healthy cat(eats, drinks poops, knocks hubby's glass over trying to get in it), but we do realize that his time with us is limited because of his "problems"
Just asking if anyone else has ever dealt with this problem
thanks
