My Cat is 14 years old and her head twitches from time to time daily. When i brush her she really seems itchy on her left side of her from her chin to her ear and eye. When i scratch her right side she doesn't seem to care as much. she will even stop and meow and then go around in a circle then scratches her ears. She purrs while im scratching it for her but she looks like she is uncomfortable. I brought her the vet a few times. I have gotten her blood tests, skins test and even a ear mite test and thats not the problem.Also since December, she has lost 2 pounds!!! Is there anyone out there that might know what the problem is? I am really worried about her and nothing the vets are doing is solving this. Do i take her to a specialists? PLEASE HELP!!!

I know that this is probably not what you want to hear but as your cat is 14 it may be suffering from the effects of old age and may be nearing its time.
My cat is younger than 14 and has an ear scratching problem too. She would scratch one ear constantly sometimes until it bled. Try trimming the ear hair. Sometimes it grows inwards and tickles. Worked for my cat.

If you are worried and the vets are not able to help, then by all means go to a veterinary specialist. Your vet can refer you. There are too many factors to consider to answer here as to why you cat is twitching.
