Charlie and Spike are two very cute kittens that are normal in all respect, except when they hear a sudden noise:
at the slightest sound, the kittens respond by collapsing and falling into a rigid paralysis which lasts about a minute before they return to normal. This condition has hardly ever before been diagnosed in a cat, is rarely found in dogs and is more common in goats.

ifthey are suffering( and it looks like it to me) then...
I'd say a tranquil and possibly carpeted home would be better than being killed. I don't know how much falling would hurt them. My cat used to lie down by deliberately falling on her side.
My condolences for Spike, if the owner sees this.
Seriously, though, would they be better off if they were surgically made deaf?
As opposed to any other kittens?
hahahah... Ah, poor kitties so funny. Those cats seem totally fine to me. They're definitely not being injured by their tumbles.
And it wasn't some condition, it was apparently a real disease
