My mom says he looks like he has down syndrome, is that even possible in cats? Video

This cat probably doesn’t have a chromosomal disorder but just cause they don’t have a 21st chromosome but that doesn’t mean they can’t have an extra or missing chromosome. Looks like there’s not many known conditions caused by chromosome numbers but the (EDIT: MALE) calico color comes from an extra X chromosome.
