Are your cats completely oblivious to everything around them when they do this? Do they do it for more then 10-15 minutes several times a day? Just curious because my cat does it and it doesn't look like anything that he's doing to entertain himself. He seems distraught and withdrawn. I've got...

That is very intersting. I never thought of food simply because it got better as the warm wetter weather returned. However, you make a very intersting point about how it could be the last stressor that was needed to cause the reaction. We'll definately try some of those recipe's for a while and...

Well, just going through my own posts and from our memory it seems as though this is a seasonal issue. We're starting to see lots of cold, dry weather and his tail chasing has returned! I'm trying to get a hold of a replacement filter for our humidifier so that we can get that going again as it...

Could be the water as our water supply is still frozen up here so we're having to resort to beer instead!

Thanks again everyone for the replies. Dinty has had a Cortizone shot before and it does seem to calm him down quite a bit. But its to the point that he's not his normal self. He's been checked several times for fleas as well but they've never found any. He is an indoor only cat and never...

Just to add a bit to this... The food he was taking was called Dental Formula by Medi-cal/RoyalCanin.

Thanks so much for the help! FHS does indeed sound like a good possibility. I think first order of business will be a change of diet as thats the only thing that has changed recently. His last visit to the vet (about 3 months ago) included some shots and a recommendation to switch to a...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping you folks can help me here. We have a 2.5 year old orange Maincoon and about 2 weeks ago he started grooming his hind quarters and tail continuously and after a few minutes would stop and look at his tail (as it twitched) and then BOLT! He's obviously afraid of what he...

We just did the same thing recently. Humidifier is the only way to go!
