So, Rowan has always been clutzy. Like, he'll jump before he thinks, or fall over batting at a toy. It's endearing, but is it serious? He falls rather often, not generally from very high, but he doesn't always land on his feet.
I'm building ladders and window perches this weekend, and that ought to help a lot, but I'm worried about my baby boy. It's gotten a lot worse since I clipped his claws, but I had to, or my legs would be ripped to shreds by now. On that note, how long does it take a kitten to get used to jumping high enough, rather than just going for it and clawing the rest of the way up? I know he can jump high enough, he just doesn't aim properly a lot of the time.
He's been to a vet, and had a clean bill of health (and he'll be going back on Tuesday for more shots), but I just don't know what questions to ask to make sure that everything's ok. I've never had a cat who was less than graceful.
