My cat Thomas (four-and-a-half) shakes his head every time he meows! It's not an irritated shake, but almost as if it dramatises the meow, makes it a big statement! Don't know why he shakes it. Thought that maybe he might have Tourettes - people get them, maybe animals too. Tourettes is an involuntary movement. I get it. My right hand and arm will flail and my head might shake. My right side of my mouth goes down and even make a gasping sound. It is usually a sign of nerves or stress. I thought Thomas might be having the same.

Anyone got any ideas as to why he does this? The shaking is only a single shake, maybe a double sometimes. It's not rapid or irritated.

have you checked in his ear for dark dirt? cats normally shake their head with ear mites sometimes.

my boys shakes his head after i rub his ears and pull them lol so cute (he doesnt have ear mites lol! )
