This is really bizarre (and sad). "Fainting" kittens.

[Charade]

I feel so bad for them.

aww. That is sad. But they are cuties.

I remember when the show Dirty Jobs went to a goat farm to try and make the goats faint. They had no luck in actually getting the goats to faint.

awwww

Awww, that is sad. My brother had a fainting goat. It was best friends with his horse, the two palled around all the time. Sometimes the goat would faint and the horse would go stand beside him until he got back to his feet again. I think the big difference was that the goat had good quality of life because his fainting wasn't too frequent. These poor kitties can't be having any quality of life. I hate to say it, but they look so miserable. Perhaps someone needs to think about putting them down.

Fainting goats don't actually faint. They suffer from some sort of genetic disorder that causes their muscles to spasm and freeze up when they are stressed.

In the comments it said they both died of the condition in october.

They both died due to their condition - myotonia congenita.

That was very sad.
