My Cat's Head Tilt Scared Me to Death

I nearly had a heart attack yesterday when I noticed my cat Milo walking like he was drunk, with his head tilted at a weird angle. At first I thought it was just another quirky cat thing, but when he started walking in circles and falling over, I knew something was wrong. Don't make my mistake of waiting to 'see if it improves.' After a panicked Google search (bad idea—convinced myself he was dying), I rushed him to the emergency vet. Turns out he had an ear infection causing vestibular issues! Doc said these head tilts can signal anything from minor ear problems to serious neurological conditions. $200 later, Milo's on antibiotics and already improving. The vet praised the quick action—apparently many people wait too long. If your cat's head starts doing the tilt-a-whirl, don't hesitate. Vet. Immediately. #catcare #pethealth #catemergency #Pets #Cats
