jnieman, I am so, so sorry about your kitty. I am almost certain this is what he had, also. I assume you had been to the vet, so I am interested in what they said and how he ws treated over the years. If you look at some of the feline hypersthesia videos on You Tube I think you will recognize your kitty. Some of them are quite vicious, even biting themselves and doing a lot of vocalizing and growling. It's a horrible condition; they are so tortured.

To be clear, it is my little black rescue kitty who is affected, not my lilac Siamese. However, it is the Oriental breeds who are most often affected.
