LOL! Looks like they have that Fainting Goat neurological problem that the fainting goats have. Cute vid. But still want to know why the hell they were going stiff like that and keeling over lol.

I was curious as well so I looked it up and your right, that exactly what they had. They died shortly after the vid was made.

Really? From fainting or from the neurological disease?

It said one of them died of respiratory failure, didn't specify how the other passed but it was in close succession so I assume both were related to the disease.
When I first watched the video I was amazed how well they had trained their cats to play dead lol.

charlie and spike are two kittens with myotonia congenita, otherwise known as 'fainting goat' syndrome. at the slightest sound or movement, the kittens respond by collapsing and falling into a rigid paralysis which lasts about a minute before they return to normal.If a pin drops they drop too. This condition has hardly ever before been diagnosed in a cat, is rarely found in dogs and is more common in goats. The kittens are able to walk, but they cannot run or jump. aside from this they are normal.
Sad to report that the black and white kitten (spike) died on 27th october from respiratory failure. thanks for all the kind messages. comments enabled once again as duplicate videos are appearing. this is the original
Sunday 31/10 - I'm devastated to report that Charlie (tabby cat ) died in my arms last night. we are in a state of shock and disbelief at this. During the short time we had them, both Charlie and Spike touched our lives in a way that we never expected. We had a plan for treatment with drugs, approved by the Royal Veterinary College at Potters Bar, but there was a worry that any side effects might be fatal while the boys were so small. We were due to start on monday. I had prepared a second film which I have now posted to youtube dedicated to their memory. thanks again for all the kind comments you have posted. Ed & Becky x
10/11 Its now over a week since we lost the kittens and we have decided to disable comments permanently as it feels like the right time. thank you for the thousands of good will messages, we have been blown away by the reaction.
sad story...

Sad indeed. Just goes to show how a cute and funny (that's how I saw it) video has a different feeling to it when you know the whole story.
