Sprint

Running wild all around the apartment is a certain sign
of a developing Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome episode,
and is somewhat common. It is easy to detect.
Being totally out of control, this is when she would most
bump into objects, sometimes with extreme speed,
as if unaware that objects like walls windows or my body or
head are in her running or flying path.
It is very hard to catch on tape, mostly because it only
happens one to three times at the very beginning
of the episode.
It only takes her a few seconds in the bedroom
to come out of there as if all is normal,
only the erect tail giving away that she is in the midst
of a developing episode, that had just flipped stages
to the next level.

Despite what it would seem,
The running around stage, which seems much more
aggressive, is always an earlier stage than erect tale.
During the running stage she would never attack herself.
Only later, when she is stationary, past the erect tail stage
or in transition, will she attack her tail.

As long as she is moving around, running amuck,
or walking as if proud and in control, she would not
attack herself.
