After being examined by the vet, it was determined that he, too, is a CH kitty. Now, though, you'd never know it. He hasn't had an episode since and he's so strong! This may be the only symptom that your kitty ever has, although, obviously, I can't say that for sure. My vet, who has since retired, told me that the CH had been caused by a herpes virus yet none of the other kittens that I had rescued during the time I rescued both Creamsicle and Coco Puff ever developed CH. So I don't know. I hope this helps you even if just a little.
That is so interesting! Does Coco Puff have the Herpes virus and does he have outbreaks when stressd?

Your description of Coco Puff reminded me of Paddy. I have also seen his head do this tremor thing, only one time though and very slightly. I've also found him staring in a locked gaze at nothing a couple of times. I've never found Stinky doing this though. I contributed the staring to OCD because of the aggressiveness we were dealing with and his overgrooming. Hallucinating was another symptom on a few websites I checked out. But the tremor thing, I don't know what that would be related to. I have (like so many of us) so much on my plate with serious health concerns with my cats (cancer, asthma, IBD etc..) that when something new presents itself and doesn't happen more than twice, I tend to leave it but continue to watch for it to reappear at which point I'll decide if we need to go to the vet.
Both Stinky and Paddy seem fine otherwise (aside from her Herpes outbreaks and his OCD issues that is!) Paddy was tested for the usual things like FIV before we adopted him but there is no record of herpes, though this may be something he also has.

After having Nancy (pet psychic) read Amy and finding out she hurt like she had arthritis all over, and at her suggestion, I now have her on Cosequin for arthritis and it has made a noticable differance in how she feels. It has helped her so much! She still trembles, jerks and falls over but I can see in her face and how she gets around that she isn't in as much pain as before.
I'm so glad that Amy is doing well on the Cosequin. Like Medusa said, it makes sense that her muscles would be sore from falling over. I was also thinking that all that jerkiness must really tax the muscles as well with constant contractions. I wonder if full body massages would help her too? I've often wanted to learn how to do animal massage, targeting certain areas with proper techniques etc.. to give relief to my older dog Muddy. I think there are videos available about massaging pets.
