I have been reading about this and signed up for the newsletter.

Cissy is the sweetest cat I've ever been owned by.  I do know that she will need to be monitored as long as she is on the drug.  What I don't understand is that the animal control guy who came to the hospital after she attacked me, said this was common!  I asked him if he meant in seemingly calm...

I cannot find the old thread concerning the attack, but I wanted to post an update.  Cissy is much more calm now, but of course I am still very careful with her. I pay intense attention to a slightest flick of an ear whenever I am petting or rubbing her. She can become over-stimulated in a...

Years ago, my soulmate (Wuss, now at Rainbow Bridge) had head tremors. She sort of acted like she was in a daze whenever it would happen.  The vet did a ton of test, and said she had a potassium deficiency. She took medication until I had to send her to the Bridge at 19. She never had those...

It wasn't the dream twitching; it was a tremor.  I have only seen her feet do that twice.  It is very pronounced, but both times, she stopped when I touched her....but then began again. Both times she was on her back. She curls her paws up, too.  I don't think that is unusual, though.

No, she has not had a CBC, but she is sure due for one!  I have read where diabetes does affect their behavior. I never knew this until a few days ago.  Another thing I have noticed is that since she began the med, she isn't eating nearly as much. I used to refill her bowl daily, but I haven't...

I have a question.  About a month ago, Cissy was sleeping on her back, and her feet started vibrating.  If I touched her, she immediately stopped, but then her feet would start vibrating again.  This was BEFORE she started on the medication, or I would suspect that to be the cause.  I have not...

I tell others all the time that cats are just like toddlers, but I seem to forget that when thinking about my own cats.  Lol...they are brats, for sure.  I try to ignore Cissy whenever she starts gnawing on one of my CD cases, or plastic bags (anything plastic....and she likes wood, too)  and it...

I don't mind her jumping on most anything, but my night stand is small and she knows EVERYTHING off...lamp, alarm clock,etc.  I used to keep other things there, but I had to add a squirt bottle so there's not much room left.  It's guaranteed that whenever she jumps up there, something is going...

Lol I tried to make a video of one of her rampages this afternoon, but all I got was a blue. She is so fast!  She is having less of them and the ones she has are shorter. Another thing I have noticed is, I no longer hear her meow when I leave the room. For a long time, I thought a cat was...

Thank you!  I wonder if "thundershirts" help with cats?  I used to see them advertised for dogs.  I will check this music out.

I cannot find the post I want to reply to, but to whomever suggested I make a video and send it to a cat behaviorist....I might do that!  Excellent idea. Someone else suggested I send one to the Cat From Hell show. I have never seen it because it comes on cable, but I have heard all about it.  I...

She hasn't fallen as much. What seems strange to me is that if something grabs her attention (like this am, a bird pecked on a window) she will leap on to high places and never miss and never fall, but if she's just jumping up on the bed or desk, she will sometimes not jump high enough. I...

Oh, I could write a book about how super sensitive animals are. I have said for years, we will never know how intelligent they really are, and it's probably a GOOD thing that we don't understand some of the things they see that we don't see.  They do have extra senses and we would probably be...

No offense taken.  I know everyone is just trying to help, and I appreciate it!

I wish there was a cat behaviorist close by, but I am sure one would be very expensive. But if they could determine the cause, it would be well worth it!  

For some reason, the vet told me again that the pills were better.  In the meanwhile,  I am consulting with 2 other vets.  I have been praying for this situation. Cissy is the only cat who has slept with me since I lost my soulmate several years ago. She was 19 years old and one week. I had...
