Hello.. I seeked you people out because I have a problem (I think) with my youngest cat and hope that someone will tell me that they've experienced this too.
This cat is about 2 years old. We got her from a local pet supply store (at the age of a few weeks) so are unaware of her background. She appeared to be a runt, as she's still not as big as she should be. Maybe she's just petite, who knows.
Only recently, perhaps about a month ago, I saw her chomping on her hind quarters and she seemed to be on and on about it, suddenly, it seemed as if she went into a type of seizure - Then she popped out of it.... with ears lowered.. looking around as if to say "Who did that?"
The bad thing is that she LOVES heights and is forever looking for a taller area to perch on. THIS is when the chomping on her behind becomes a problem. She will go in to that seizure mode and just FALL OFF of whatever she's perched on! She does not land on her feet like most cats, but splats down on whatever is below. It's disheartening.. and downright scary!
From seeing this about a month ago, for the first time, and now seeing it at a regular basis of at least once or twice a day.... we're monitoring her. We are going to get her in for testing. At first, we thought that maybe it was just a muscle twitch.
But I'm just wondering - for my own peace of mind - Does this sound like anything that anyone here has experienced? Can anyone help?
Thank you so much, in advance.
I LOVE my cats!
