my 12 to 13 year old male cat keeps twitching... it isnt his entire body its just his head which keeps jerking backward (towards his tail)... he has also been very agressive the past five to seven days... there are always days that he can get mean but he is usually a loveable cat... his left eye also looks some what puffy and its closed while his right one is fully open... what do you think is wrong with him?

Answer by Kate
Hi this is difficult to answer without an examination, it could be a ear mite problem, they can be difficult to see and can cause inner ear infections. See my web page for more details on these here

However if you do not suspect ear mites then your only option is to take him to the vets for a check up.

best wishes kate

About head twitching in cats
by: Sandra

Please listen! Take your cat to the VET!
They are not ear mites! (I hate when people talk about things they know nothing about, just to be talking) ANY WAY.....
My cat was doing the exact same thing and is now in a velvet bag above my fireplace. I'm still not over that. Watching her head go back and not knowing who to call. (it was a weekend)
I did take her in and after $900.00 in vet bills she is dead...... But ONLY because it was too late......
Please take your kitty to a Vet ASAP so you can make sure she is not suffering from seizures like Zoe was. I will probably need to get help if I cant keep those images from filling my brain.
It was a horrible sight near the end.
(We had to end her suffering)
I wish you luck. And best to your baby.


Comment from kate
i am so sorry to hear that in your case the condition was something fatal. Of course head twitching can be caused by several things, from ear mites to brain injuries and that is why as you suggest you should always take your cat to the vets for a proper diagnosis.
lets hope that in this case it is something which can be simply treated.
