Why would your cat start staggering and shaking suddenly?

Answer 1

Like humans and most other animals, cats depend on their inner ear canals for balance. A lack of equilibrium can be caused by an ear infection. Any infection, in fact, if it is severe enough, can affect equilibrium. Additionally, a cat uses his tail as an active weight to aid his balance; a disease that affects the control of his tail, or the traumatic loss of a significant part of his tail, can hinder his balance.

Answer 2

There are many possible diseases and reasons, but I'd say the most likely cause would be some kind of inner-ear infection. If you own said cat please take him or her to the vet.

Answer 3

A cat's tail help keep a cat perfectly balanced, as well as its inner ears that help a cat's balance.

Answer 4

B/c of their whiskers. If they were cut off, the cat wouldn't be able to stand up (Dont even think about it)

Same reasons as people; dizziness, spinning in circles, falling, watching a black and white spiral, that type of stuff. Or the cat could be loosing balance as in sickness.

Answer 6

The same reasons a human will; pain, discomfort or lack of sleep.
