Vet said he needed shots to boost his nerves and if he doesn’t respond well in a couple days he’ll do an X-ray and decide on a further course of treatment. He’s back to purring in my lap again. Hug your kitties extra tight for me tonight.

    Feline hyperesthesia is probably what you’re referring to with her tail self-mutilation. Definitely odd there would be a random residual infectious tick in a new house lol, but stranger things have happened! Weird !

      That does sound familiar! Yeah, I can’t really explain the tick thing, especially since it happened a few weeks after we moved in - if it had been a day or two, you’d think that would make more sense. More likely, it was caused by something else and the tick thing is just the most common way it happens.
