[4] The current oldest verified cat alive is Flossie, who was born in 1995 in the United Kingdom. [10]
[5] [6] How it functions in cognition, emotion, or autonomic function in animals is still largely unknown. In 2012, a study in mice provided direct evidence that subtle disruptions in cerebellar architecture can have pronounced effects on behaviors typically associated with autistic-like behavior.
Cognitive dysfunction syndrome in dogs is an established diagnosis, but there has been limited research for cats and treatment options are limited. [13] Drugs used for treatment of the disease have been approved for use in dogs. However, they are used off-label in treatment of cats. [1] Early diagnosis improves results of long-term treatment.

Cerebellar abiotrophy (CA), also called cerebellar cortical abiotrophy (CCA), is a genetic neurological disease in animals, best known to affect certain breeds of horses, dogs and cats. It can also develop in humans. It develops when the neurons known as Purkinje cells, located in the cerebellum of the brain, begin to die off. These cells ...
Cerebellar degeneration is a condition in which cerebellar cells, otherwise known as neurons, become damaged and progressively weaken in the cerebellum. [1] There are two types of cerebellar degeneration; paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration, and alcoholic or nutritional cerebellar degeneration. [2]
Birman. The Birman cat is a medium to large breed with a silky, semi-long coat, deep blue eyes, and a distinct color-point pattern. It lives for about 14 years.
Deafness can occur in white cats with yellow, green or blue irises, although it is mostly likely in white cats with blue irises. [4] In white cats with one blue eye and one eye of a different color (odd-eyed cats), deafness is more likely to affect the ear on the blue-eyed side. [1] Approximately 50% of white cats have one or two blue eyes. [5]
