The other thing that occurs to me is mild hyperesthesia. That's a heightened sensitivity. Another thing to ask the vet about, if fleas is not an issue.

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...

...time. Tell the vet that you have noticed some behavioral issues and are concerned that there may be a physical cause. While feline hyperesthesia is usually presented with a rippling back or tail chasing and self mutilating, I wonder if this is a form of it. You mentioned that you were...

...is certainly possible, is that this is coincidental with the bowel movement or has nothing to do with it. Does this at all seem like a feline hyperesthesia kind of growling?

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...

Oh!! And when she is walking, I haven't noticed it, though, in my searches online about this stuff, I came across hyperesthesia. I've totally seen Lu do some of those things...for years not realizing it was a "thing". She'll be walking and then stop suddenly to lick her side or scratch her...

...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...

...not vets, so I am only commenting on what you have observed. In my experience, and I stand to be corrected, this does not look like hyperesthesia or seizures as I have seen experienced by any cat I have owned. As was stated above, I do see what looks like lethargy and weakness, maybe even...

...that this biting is the throat and not the back of the neck which is often a play/dominance behavior. At this point, I would not leave the cat alone together if you go out. Does he show any signs of feline hyperesthesia syndrome? My aggressive boy is starting to show symptoms in that direction.

...behave. She needs a steady hand that doesn't show anger, consistently directing her to proper activities. You'd know if it was Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome because you'd quickly notice she goes nuts when you touch a sensitive spot. Swatting at picture frames has nothing to do with that...
