Cat has sensitivity to crackling sounds
Hi first time poster here, I came across this forum while trying to find some answers.
The family cat, Greyfur, is having some trouble, she's 20 years-old but otherwise in good health; eats well, drinks when thirsty, purrs, sleeps well (upside down and twitching i.e. deep sleep) in a word: happy - with the exception of being very sensitive to crackling sounds such as rigid plastic, creaking/cracking floor, even one time my knee cracked as I turned and that made her flinch. If the crackling noise happens three or four times in a row she will nearly fall over, it's almost as if she is frozen, her muscles are tense kind of like a fainting goat if you've ever seen one. This has been going on for less than a year but it's gotten worse, it was manageable but now she's getting worse and it seems as if the pitch of sounds she's sensitive too is getting lower so now even (higher pitched) everyday thumps and bumps are beginning to bother her. I asked at another pet forum but I can't remember the name of it, someone mentioned high blood pressure. My parents or I haven't taken her to the Vet since as I said it's been OK until recently. I don't think she could take a visit to the Vet with all the noise and a strange environment. Any thoughts? |
