my kitten acts drunk

Question
my 6 month old kittens is acting drunk all of asudden what might be awrong?

Answer
Paula,

Does the cat have lethargy and rear leg weakness?  It may be a congenital heart problem like cardiomyopathy because heart problems cause leg weakness in cats.
Drops in potassium in cats will also cause rear leg weakness in cats.
Renal and liver failure both can cause these symptoms and kittens can have congenital problems of either kidney or liver.

The kitten may be a CH kitty (cerebellar Hypoplasia). It is an ailment that controls the cat's motion. The cat can still live a full life with it.

Here is a good link about the condition:

Here is a cat medical link that you can email with medical questions. The lady there has worked with a vet for 17 years and can answer most medical questions knowledgeably:

I hope this helps and that your kitten is OK.
