Yet a few weeks ago, Thomas was seized by what I believe were several episodes of feline hyperesthesia syndrome. If youve not witnessed it, feline hyperesthesia can be terrifying to see. When hes in its grip, Thomas runs from things that arent there. He twitches and rolls the skin on his back excessively as if trying to shake off an unwanted passenger. He licks his paws and flanks with rapid-fire urgency. His eyes go wide. He meows hollow, round wails of desperation. He ducks when a loving hand moves slowly, carefully near him. He hides under the bed for hours at a time. With some cats, this condition gets so bad that they pull out the fur on their hind quarters from excessive licking.
