My year old male cat, Zuko, is unfixed, and has always been quite a hyperactive guy. I've posted before about how erratic his behavior has been in the past. Luckily, he's calmed down a bit as he's gotten older, but I've noticed something new in the last several months - he sort of has these convulsions, but only when he's laying down/resting/sleeping. It seems to come from his flank/hind legs region, but you can see his whole body convulse, especially his head. It's not twitchiness, because it's not sporadic, it's rhythmic and constant any time he lays down, but it doesn't appear to be hurting him at all. Sometimes when he's hyper he will bite his legs or tail, which is a symptom of hyperesthesia, but it seems like cats who have that tend to kind of freak out and bite themselves when they twitch/convulse, but he usually just ignores it. It's kind of hard to see just by looking at him but i noticed it because he was sleeping on my leg one night and i could feel it, and from then on i started watching him and feeling his body to see where it was coming from. It might not be related, but he's also EXTREMELY hormonal, he humps the clothes on the floor like 10 times a day. and he almost always drags them out to wherever we are to do it. He also licks his crotch ALL the time, whether he just got done humping something or not. Other than that he's just a hyper little guy (not that he's little, he's a big cat).
If anyone has any opinions, i'd be interested to hear them. I'm not really all that worried cause it doesn't seem to be causing him any problems, I'm just curious about it.
