In this video, during a Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome
episode and immediately after a short series
of self-attacks, and while she is still quite upset,
I hurry to try and provoke her with the camera,
and she does attack it several times, at first!
some intro on events today:
After she started with few
Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome symptoms,
I decided to completely refuse her demand for
attention which are typical at that stage.
Sometimes this would calm her down,
Today, I didn't want her to calm down,
so I have enough events for taping videos.
I carefully point the camera (mounted on a long stick),
while watching the computer screen so she notices
as little as possible that I am even with her,
and pretend being busy with the computer while the
camera stick lies on my shoulder
pointing backwards towards Nekko.
At this point, I approach her for the first time tonight,
pretending to be enemy-like and aggressive.
(This actually did prove more successful later tonight
in the broom video).
At first she is attacking the camera as she is still upset
with the episode still in motion.
Very quickly my newly discovered attention,
as if reassures her that I am still around,
and she begins to ignore the nagging camera and her face
quiets down to an expression of total
calmness.
I give up, and the broom incident occurs a while later.
