From Outcast to Beloved: The Heartwarming Tale of Sansa the Polydactyl Cat

2023/10/12

How does her Feline Hyperesthesia (also known as Twitchy Cat Disease) impact her everyday routine? In the past, her hyperesthesia was much more severe and had a detrimental impact on her daily life. She used to experience episodes of "back rolling" multiple times throughout the day, which caused her to attack her tail uncontrollably. These episodes could last for over 5 minutes each time. However, through the use of hemp oil, her episodes are now managed, and she only experiences them about 1-2 times a week. These episodes last for approximately 30 seconds each time. When she does have an episode, I try to distract her with toys so that she doesn't attack her tail; however, there is no way to stop the back rolling. Fortunately, her episodes are now mild and don't significantly impact her daily life.
