Hi Brandy...Loss of balance would be of concern and merits a visit to the vet. Meowing could be symptomatic of the pain he's experiencing. Twitching can be caused by a lot of things. Some of which are serious and need to be treated by a vet. This information I am posting for you is from: http://www.vetinfo.com/catneuro.html#twi... in cats It has a lot of good information on the various types of twitching. I hope this helps.
There are a number of causes of twitching in cats, because this can be associated with pruritis (itchiness) and there are a lot of causes of pruritis. If this occurs very frequently during the day it is probably more likely to be some sort of problem with itchiness. If it occurs infrequently during the day then something like a focal seizure may be possible. These are reported in cats more frequently than in dogs (at least that is my impression, I'm not sure it is actually true). Twitching is sometimes seen with liver disorders, pancreatitis, low blood sugar and high blood sugar, as well. I think that toxoplasmosis causes enough neurologic problems that twitching could be related to it, but haven't seen that written anywhere.
One particularly common cause of twitching is feline hyperesthesia syndrome, but normally the twitching occurs more along the flanks and top of the spine near the base of the tail. Often, cats with this condition are OK unless they are touched or petted, but many will have twitching and even self-mutilation without any external stimulus.
Facial twitches have been reported with feline immunodeficiency virus infection and sometimes occur when there is periodontal disease, odontoclastic lesions of teeth or stomatitis in cats.
Ear mites make some cats twitch their heads or ears. Fleas can do this. Allergies make some cats so itchy that they have skin twitching. Mite infections (cats get several skin mites) can cause itchiness and twitching.

Well if u want to be nice, feed the other cat but leave the food outside. Make sure your cats eat before u go to bed and put there food away.
