...be any other reason for him to be self-mutilating. She mentioned that they try to rule out other causes before diagnosing with Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome, but she said he very clearly has this condition now. My husband and I are concerned about quality of life for him. He has been on the...

I think my cat has problems with Feline Hyperesthesia. It mostly happens when he is frustrated with something, such as not being able to go out. Apart from "rolling wave" on his skin alongside his spine, he rolls his tongue, and then sprints and runs fast as if in a kind of flight response from...

We recently took in a stray 6-9 month old cat. For the past couple of weeks she randomly has fits of growling in discomfort. An episode can happen anytime, I.e., during sleep, while grooming, or whenever. Sometimes she will defecate a small amount during an episode. The vet thinks it is...

About a few weeks ago my cat started showing signs of Feline Hyperesthesia all of a sudden. His back would start twitching, he'd lick his tail and run around the house, looking around like crazy. These episodes would last for a while. He then started drooping an ear and kept scratching it, I...

...is down to purring or his heart issues. I will have to ask the vet at his next visit. Anyways, I stumbled on something called "Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome" and never heard of it before but I think he actually has this. It has happened maybe 15 or 20 times over the last 2 years. Almost...

My Pi-Pi has had a problem with his tail for a few months. It twitches involuntarily and puzzles him and I think scares him. He runs when it happens to escape it which of course he can’t. Sometimes he bites at it and yowls. His only saving grace with that is he is missing 9 teeth which were...

I have been through a lot with my 8 year old female cat. Been in and out of the vet and spent thousands trying to find solutions. Long story short, my main concern now is her weird behaviour with her tail. She’ll stare at it, run away from it, and recently has started aggressively growling...

Hi everyone I'm fairly certain that Humphrey has FHS. When I first got him, I just dismissed it as cat zoomies. But as i went down the google hole, I discovered what FHS is and his symptoms match exactly. It's all about that rippling back, the bolting, the meowing and the licking of the back...

Our one cat, Lee, has a history of being food/toy possessive. When he eats food, he often continuously growls while doing so. When he has a toy he really likes, he will continuously growl while holding it in his mouth. In my partner’s experience, Lee’s growl is all bark and no bite. I can’t...

...later for another issue, my discussing these issues were not really considered or responded to. 🤔 I have read something about Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome, which seems to be possible, If I thought I could really get help and not a run-around, I might try. (I cannot be wasting $$). Note...

My cat is acting very strange and it’s worrying me - i do have a vet appointment but it’s not until Monday. So over the last few weeks he has increasingly been abruptly darting off scared and shaking his head a lot at times when we are playing or if he jumps down from something. And this is not...

I think my cat Pi may have hyperesthesia. A condition where he chases his tail and sometimes bites it because it twitches by itself and puzzles him. From what I’ve read it is not life threatening and there are medications for it. I can’t get to his vet until after the new year so was wondering...

While my cat (~1.5 year old male) has not yet received an official diagnosis, he seems to be showing the signs of having FSH. He has periods of frantic activity where he will see his own tail and panic, dashing around the room each time he catches sight of it. Sometimes he will bites it a little...

Hi everyone — my cat, Princess is 5 years old and was just diagnosed with hyperesthesia. She doesn’t have a bad case of it — she doesn’t have the hyperesthesia “attacks”, but has has frequent back skin rippling and periodically pulls out fur in pattern that indicates back pain. The the vet...

I am looking to see if anyone else has experienced this with their cats. Mine is a 4 year old male, and he began this self mutilation about 8 months ago. He started scratching his face and neck, causing open areas roughly quarter size. I took him in, and he had the whole gammat of test, swabs...

I'm not sure how to describe my kitten's facial tic other than a glitch. She does this whenever she is curious, excited, purring, or stressed. So basically, unless she is just chilling, her face is glitching. Phoenix was 10 days old when the Lahaina Fires broke out and was in the burn zone...

Hey all! I've been through the wringer with my two little babies, and I'm starting to think this is my last option to keep them happy and healthy. They're both five months (siblings) and in the last three that I've had them, we've been in and out of the vet at least four times a month, to the...

I don't really expect a miracle but was wondering of anyone has had a similar situation. About 3 months ago, our 12 yo cat started to growl about once a night while sitting and would run away from her spot. She has been to The Pet ER twice since and her regular vet. One evening she growled...

Hi. My cat has a hard lump on her paw. We took her to the vet and they gave her antibiotics but they did nothing. It seems to be getting bigger. The vet thinks possibly cancer. Have you ever seen anything like this? She’s in no pain. She’s eating and happily playing like normal. She doesn’t seem...
