My cat needs antidepressants

She's been twitching for the past few weeks and we've been terribly worried about her. The vet didn't seem to think anything was wrong. Lastnight I finally googled her symptoms (we thought it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite at first so we were googling what she SHOULD be displaying). It turns out she has feline hyperesthesia syndrome. I know it's never the best idea to diagnose via the internet, but the symptoms are spot on and I youtubed videos of other cats with the same disorder and it's the exact same thing Lucy has. Basically the internet says to spoil her rotten (at least that's what it comes down to) and that antidepressants can help. It turns out it's common in Siamese cats, and she's half, but it can happen to all cats.



This cat seems to have it about as bad as Lucy does.
