Thanks for the replies! GPM I WISH I didn't have any new cases all this time, I've been trying to manage on my own.
I had a remarkable recovery of a super ulcerated cat (mouth ulcers covering her palate, tongue, nose, gums & lips) with merc.
I screwed up on another though, gave her sil 200; turns out she was pregnant and proceeded to miscarry 8 fetus', she also came down with an UR infection. Perhaps her pregnancy was a problem to her overall complaints -would sil do that do you think? At any rate, too many cats in the world already (she had just had a litter) and she made a speedy recovery after she miscarried.
As for poor little "Weeble" she was kind of put on the back burner as her condition is not at all life threatening, or painful to her.
I do think there is neurological involvement. If it was from a viral infection her mother passed on to her while still in the womb, its kind of like brain damage. She really is quite a happy little kitten, she eats well, has a good disposition. She jumps onto and from furniture (although has little control about how far and fast she is leaping, so she often overshoots the mark -which generally is only a problem on the way down). She is also aware of her limitations in that she stays clear of stairs.
I'm not sure how to describe the movement other than "shaking" in a slow way and its up/down motion (looks like she is humping everything in sight). I don't believe its progressive or will get any worse and I encourage her to play and hopefully build up some muscle.
Thanks for the list Dr.L, I'll look again, I'm just not satisfied that there isn't a better description for her motion, but I guess I have to start somewhere. I need to think about other symptoms too, but there is nothing very obvious about her than the wobbling.
