lately my kitty has started twitching the fur on his back. i've been trying to get him used to a new collar with a bell that he's scared of. im worried that the twitch might be as a result of stress he's going through.

Yes, it certainly can. He could also have very sensitive skin, and the collar is causing some irritation.

Usually it is a sign of skin irritation. The first thing I would do is check for fleas and other skin parasites, since this is the most likely cause.
