With+the+mid+2007+addition+of+the ADHD+like+Holding+technique, this+is+specfically+the+area+where petting+her+gently while+Holding+her+forcefully, would+be+most+effective+in+calming+her+down. 7.+Staring+into+space [[[[[Nekko/20070917/25.jpg]]]]]+ 8.+Persistent,+loud+meowing+ Nekko+does+not+have+this+symptom+at+all Just+the+vocal+tail+attacks+during+episodes.
