tensing up motions
Hi all again,
So I just got this 2 and one half yr. old cat from the shelter. She's been there 2 yrs. (didn't get along with other pets, so no one adopted her.) Tonight I'm lying on the bed with her and she looks so comfortable, and husband noticed that she has these mild jerking motions while she's in a relaxed (conscious) state. She's doing it alot. Any ideas. I will be taking her to the vet in am.She does is like 4 times, but sporadically. Had cats all my life, and never saw this. thanks |

All my cats have twitchy/jerky paws while sleeping or relaxed. I think that's pretty normal. Is she your only cat? Candace |

She'll be walking and jerk her paw sometimes, but not that often. If it were all the time or often I would be concerned. In the course of five years or so, it's not increased so it's okay. |

You could only hear it if you put your ear right up to her body - it went "gloink" and you'd see a little jerk. If she's been sheltered that long, it may be a reaction to her change of diet and exercise. I think it's so cool that she's got a new life with you. |
