"She is not biting at herself, her tail is not rapidly twitching and she is not running about crazed"
The above is a quotation from another thread..but it reminded me of what my cat, Max, used to do.
It happended mildly during his first year..starting at about 8 months old...tapering off till the next summer...then it happened with vigor about 4 times...just absolute terror in his eyes...running like something had bitten his behind and was still attached...and after about 20 minutes he calmed down. He also gave loud yowls.
In his 3 year..it happened mildly a few times...and that was it...never happened again.
I asked the Vet about it at the time....and he didn't have any suggestions. Someone mentioned the moon's fullness...but why would it start and stop and not happen every month...and why mostly in the late summer and fall?
Max was vaccinated and was an indoor cat.
Thanks for any ideas!!
