Try to keep this brief and explain as best I can: Zyon (F5SBT, 2 years old) is having some sort of ear spasms. My daughter kept saying over the past week or so that his "ear is being weird". I never noticed anything so I didn't think much of it. Just a few minutes ago we both noticed that his left ear appeared to be pulling back (as if he were agitated) and he was scratching at it. So now for the past 10 minutes or so it's happened almost constantly. I've massaged his head and ear area, he doesn't seem to be in pain at all, just annoyed. He keeps scratching (not forcefully) at it and I tried to take a video of it but Zyon was moving around too much. What it looks like is a muscle spasm, I can literally see it when it happens. ? I googled it and got a couple things about involuntary muscle tremors in cats, as with anything with muscles, they can spasm. Should I be concerned? The supposed causes are so random, but the only thing I can think is that he is eating wet canned food now, but that's been at least a month or more. He's been eating Weruva, different types/their off brands and then his usual dry food (about 2/3 wet, 1/3 kibble daily I'd say). We're careful with people food, I can't think of anything he could have gotten into. We have reptiles but he doesn't have access to the rooms they are in. As far as I know, and I spend a lot of time with him, this is the first time any muscle weirdness has occurred. ?? Of course, I'm gone all day tomorrow on a field trip with my daughter, we have zero cars now as I sold my car yesterday and today my husband's got a flat tire and he lost the special key to remove the wheel.... This is now the perfect ending to this day! Luckily though, our vet is literally a 10 minute walk from here so at least there's that! Please let me know if anyone has seen this or if this is something we need to get checked, asap or otherwise. Thanks =) Karen
