Diese zwei Katzen leiden an “Myotonia Congenita“. Das heisst, schon beim leisesten Ton, werden die Muskeln paralysiert und können von der Katze nicht mehr kontrolliert werden. Snip aus der Originalbeschreibung:

at the slightest sound, the kittens respond by collapsing and falling into a rigid paralysis which lasts about a minute before they return to normal. This condition has hardly ever before been diagnosed in a cat, is rarely found in dogs and is more common in goats. The kittens are able to walk, but they cannot run or jump. aside from this they are normal. sad to report that the black and white kitten (spike) died on 27th october from respiratory failure. thanks for all the kind messages.
