Disabled Cat Tries Custom Feeding Station and Mealtime Is Finally Easier
As pet parents, we all want our fuzzy loves to be their healthiest selves and have everything they could need to lead a happy, full life. But part of life means some pets have disabilities that can add layers of challenge to their routines. But with the right support and a little creativity, finding adjustments and modifications for those disabilities can make a big difference.
In this video, we meet an adorable cat who has a movement disorder, and with that, she struggles during mealtime. But the family found the perfect modification that changed everything. Take a look!
@lifewithada Think about the thought that went behind this #wobblycat#calico#cutecat#catsoftiktok#wholesome
original sound - Ada
TikTok user @lifewithada introduced us to a beautiful Calico cat named Ada, who is "just a wobbly girl living in a wobbly world." She has a movement disorder called cerebellar hypoplasia that makes her just that... wobbly. And while she's happy, healthy, and living her best life, the wobbles that she can't control do make eating a little challenging.

But her family had the best solution and built her a very functional, totally workable feeding station. Ada's human uncle put a lot of thought into making this daily task a little easier for her, and not only is the fix absolutely functional, but it's also really cute. And it supports her with the right amount of structure that makes snack time a lot easier, with fewer wobbles and spills.
In the comments, people were so thrilled to see how much this works for Ada. Some comments included, "Her little paw just holding on," "To be loved to the point of invention," "Accessibility for little angels, omg," and "I love that it can be adjusted for how much assistance one's cat might need or their size."

Other Supports for Cats With Cerebellar Hypoplasia
Ada, who has cerebellar hypoplasia, does need some modifications to her environment to make life a little more accessible for her, and there are some you can make if you have a kitty like this, too.
According to Catitude Adjustment, one of the best ways you can help a wobbly cat is to make sure the flooring at home won't cause them too much trouble. If you have smooth floors, like wood or tile, putting down runners ensures they have safe walking paths. The site also suggests keeping their nails a little longer and padding any sharp edges with baby-proofing foam or pool noodles.
We're so happy to see Ada so happy, fed, and living her very best life.
