Fainting Goat Kittens (You'll laugh! You'll cry!)

Here are a couple of kittens with myotonia congenita, otherwise known as 'fainting goat' syndrome:

Apparently sudden sounds can trigger such responses.

Or some kind of wireless/satellite kill switch for evil cyborg kittens.

I feel bad for laughing. But I couldn't help it. I hope it does not hurt them when that happens. Those poor little kittens.

These kittens are awake. I didnt realize myatonians didnt actually faint. I notice they lurch forward when they collapse. And remain alert so its not a seizure. Its definetely neurological.

thanks for sharing this!

While they're adorable, it's not exactly good in an environment where natural selection is still active. I'm sure it also produces some uncomfortable bumps and bruises, too. Poor kitties.

That was cute. I laughed. My son got mad at me for laughing and told me that I wouldn't find it very funny if it happened to him. Then I felt guilty.
