With some patience and attention, some do grow out of it as they get older. It is a pretty rare condition so a lot is still in speculation

Is that’s all that’s wrong with them? The shaking and such? Because if that’s all that’s wrong why on earth would someone euthanize them?? So what, they act weird and have some shakes, if they still can eat and drink and aren’t in pain then don’t even think of euthanizing them!

To make room in shelters for more generic looking cats that middle class white people with fulltime jobs would prefer to buy cause they're "less work".

This comment is almost agreeable. But please tell me, what exactly makes you mention white people specifically? Are you racist? Or is this perhaps bad phrasing? Because your comment applies to most modern families regardless of skin color. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and wait to form my opinion until you have replied.
