Fainting Kittens!

Ever felt Guilty for Laughing!?
This video link did that to me. Don't worry no animal cruelty involved, just video footage of really cute kittens with a bizarre twist.

Fainting Goat Kittens

Poor little things.

I've seen video of this in goats before, but didin't realise if affected other animals as well.

This is an inherited disease. It's sad that people continue to breed animals that have this disease.

It's also an inherited disease in humans, but I've read that there are now medications that can relieve the symptoms.

Poor little darlings! I hope they can get some help soon.

A topic that particularly bothers me. Very unfortunate that debilitating diseases are allowed to continue.

I should clarify. This may not be debilitating, but it's still a disease that should not continue. Hope these kittens have been spayed/neutered.

You shouldn't worry too much . I don't think they are bred for this and as the article says it is a very rare condition, especially for cats.

I'm not even sure that with this condition the cats conditions would be able to breed!? They certainly shouldn't be let out of the house unattended, imagine if that condition kicked in when the were on the road, not worth thinking about really.

It may be that the condition can skip generations also, I would have to do some reading on that though. Either way, Cats, Dogs and pets that wander in general should be kept from over-breeding.

I'm just glad that they seem to be in a good home and that I am now aware of this condition being possible in other animals.

............ They are both still so brutally cute though!

Yep, exactly how I felt.... Tried not to laugh, but got the "Arh! How sweet!" Followed by giggles..... then the guilt

Yep, I have both seen and heard.... Just one reason I was not sure that it was possible for them to breed. It does leave me with a disturbing image in my head just thinking about it .... "Mission Impossible" Indeed!
