As diabolical as cats can be at times, they really can’t help themselves when fun presents itself in unexpected ways. Being so curious and adventurous by nature means anything can become a fun activity when the mood strikes. And forget the usual feather wand or catnip, because dogs aren’t the only ones obsessed with balls and playing fetch.
Rescue cat Baby Corn has only just discovered how thrilling a ball can be. This wobbly Black Cat has some serious moves like he’s training for the World Cup, and it’s the most precious sight!
A day in the life of Baby Corn is something magical. The rescue cat with the cutest wobbly walk continues winning fans over with every new experience (me included). Though Mom never thought to gift Corn a ball, he clearly knew exactly what to do with it—and look at that soccer-level footwork!
Having followed Corn’s journey from the start, it’s a wonderful thing to see him so excited about every new toy, activity, or interaction. The Black Cat with the lookalike stuffies puts everything he has into every moment, reminding us all to enjoy the little things more often.

There’s nothing Baby Corn can’t do when given the opportunity. The funny feline recently enjoyed a legendary vacation in Lisbon, where he did all the sightseeing in style. For the runt with the biggest eyes, I think this adventure was a huge hit.
What Is Cerebellar Hypoplasia in Cats?
Corns wobbly ways are actually a noncontagious, nonprogressive neurological condition called cerebellar hypoplasia (CH). This is when the part of the brain that controls balance and coordination (the cerebellum) is underdeveloped at birth. Since the brain stops growing, it remains in an immature state.
The result is a “wobbly” kitty whose movements are jerky and cartoonish, sometimes with tremors or falling over, but it doesn’t worsen over time.
The severity of this condition depends on how far along in development the kitten is in utero before Mom is infected with the viral infection that causes it. Then, she may pass it down to unborn babies.
The good news is that Corn is thriving and living his best life. Maybe one day we’ll catch him kicking the soccer ball around with the pros!
