my kitten was hurt recently and even though he seems to be getting better he cant stand up or he will spin in circles slowly always in the same direction, he wont walk, he just pushes backwards. he almost seems to me like he might be "disabled" ?

Holly, how old is your kitty?  How was he hurt?  It sounds neurological in nature.  I've seen kittens back up like that when they are frightened but not  spin in circles.  Could be a brain tumor depending on his history.  You really need to take him to the vet for a good exam.  I hope he gets over whatever this is.  Good Luck!

The symptoms are sometimes typical of brain or neurological damage,
