Could my kitten possibly have CH?

I noticed that ever since his mother ran away from him leaving me to bottle feed him he has always had a bit of a wobble to him. Thought maybe he was just learning how to walk as all kittens do but hes hitting that age most kittens know how to walk and play but he hasn't picked up at all and is more clumsy if anything he struggles to play with the others because of it..I'm worried maybe I needa do something different for him?

The video is him trying to play but thats pretty much how he walks and plays normally ALL THE TIME only time hes not wobbly like this is when hes tuckered out and wants to cuddle and fall asleep.

Any advice on if hes just still a kitten wobble or if hes got possibly CH? Im worried about him and the vet when I took him a few weeks ago said he seemed healthy

Poor Wobbly Claude is getting stuck in fabrics because few of his claws are a bit too long.

Obviously I can't clip them, he needs them to stop himself falling off the carpet, it would be cruel.

He has a corrugated cardboard whale floor scratch board, which he loves and a choice of coir doormats. He has unlimited access to a safe garden with wooden decking, concrete slabs, a lawn and flower beds, so he does have a variety of surfaces to manage them himself.

He's not so keen on sisal, it seems.

He is best described as moderately to significantly wobbly. He doesn't need help toileting, and he can climb stairs, but he can't walk much more than a metre without a, ahem, little lie down...

I expect the claws will wear down naturally now the weather is better, but he does like sleeping and cuddling more than walking.

Also, he's pulling up tufts of the carpet!
