Widget had an ear infection at eight weeks that left him with a 45º head tilt to the right. You can see it pretty well in this picture. For the first few weeks after his illness he tended to turn to the right and fall off shelves. He adapted to it eventually. He learned to run straight, climb, and leap almost as well as his brothers. The head tilt didn't impair his social life in any way, and he came to dominate his brothers.
