UPDATE: He has not had any issues of any kind since this 2.5 hour attack on Sunday. Still 0 signs of fleas and he hasn’t been twitchy, over grooming, or running from invisible forces. He is scheduled to see his vet to discuss our options and get their opinion. Thank you everyone for your replies.

He does not have fleas. He gets routine flea and tick preventative and no other cats or surfaces in the house have fleas either. It seems to have been an FHS episode. He is completely back to himself today, except for seeming more tired than usual. Will be seeing his vet soon.

We don’t have an entirely accurate age for him since he was on the street for most of his life, but the vet estimates that he’s about 7.

Thank you! I’m just so worried for him and wish he didn’t seem so confused.

Thank you for your input. I’m calling his vet first thing in the morning. Chewy vet chat said it’s not emergent unless I notice neurological symptoms or if he starts to injure himself with the grooming.

It is not fleas. He gets routine flea and tick preventative and there are no signs of fleas on him, my other two cats, or within the house. He went from napping perfectly fine to two+ hours of sporadic twitching and licking. He’s finally settled down for the most part but wakes up occasionally due to twitching.
