Hi I just got my kitten she is 12 weeks now and I noticed that both eyes sort of shake, vibrate from side to side. It isn't very fast but it is noticable. Does anyone have a raggie like this? If so what is it? Thanks
This is called nystagmus and can be caused by infections and other things, so a vet visit is in order to check to see if anything needs to be done about it.

We have an appointment on Mon. but I am wondering if it is just a common trait in raggies like it is in Himalayan and siamese? ( I am sure I spelled those wrong)
It is not common, but I have read of it on a few occasions in Ragdolls associated with infections.
