My cat has head tremors

Hi everyone,

My 14-year-old girl has been having head tremors for about two or three years now, and it's becoming more and more frequent.

She turns her head to the right side of her body and lowers it to shoulder level, and then her head shakes with short, rapid tremors.

If anyone could tell me what might be causing this, I'd really appreciate it.

I've posted a video below; you can see the head shaking at the 15-second mark.

    Hi there,

    This shaking sounds like it could be a neurological issue, and your cat is getting on a bit now. Only a thorough check-up with a vet could confirm it for sure. But as long as she’s still eating, drinking, using the litter tray and sleeping, and doesn’t seem to be in any pain, it’s not necessarily an emergency. It would be a good idea to get her checked out though, just to be on the safe side.
