Hi there! I have a kitty named Kitty. She's an american short-haired Calico, about 2 years old. She is the kitten from a stray. One of the best cats I've ever had, very calm and always happy. She is an inside cat, but only lately, because I moved--- She's a coward and will run away from the noises outside.
For the past while, she's been showing some strange symptoms which have not gone away. Some of them may be irrelevant, but I figure I should mention everything I've noticed that is different about her:
In the past, I attributed the twitching back to fleas, which she indeed got from the lawn over a year ago. I did give her flea treatments and baths with dawn dish soap. The fleas disappeared over time and I have not noticed any on her lately, but the back twitching still happens.
Otherwise, she is a totally normal cat who eats, drinks and purrs. Hope someone can provide some insight. Thanks for reading!

- Missing patch of fur on her belly which never grows back.
- Shaking her head, mostly when she gets excited and is about to meow at me.
- Twitching on her back.
- Sometimes one eye is squinted. I believe she switches the eye. Sometimes one eye is watering a LOT and I have to gently wipe her face. Sometimes she looks totally normal.
