I have an extraordinarily feisty and high tension cat. I don't know what the causes of your cat's fears are, but some of the things that help me calm down my little fighter are: Putting him in one of his favorite spots--on the bed pillows or the cat "chair" near the desk. Singing or humming lullabye-style songs to him Stroking him from his nose to the back of his head Curling up near him--near enough to touch but not smother--and just placing one hand near his head or paws so he has the scent of me and can touch if he needs to Acting normal, but low key. I don't run the vacuum, watch screaming Horror flicks or anything loud and I make sure my movements are abrupt or sudden, but if I am behaving normally--e.g., fixing dinner, playing on the computer, etc.--it seems to reassure him his life is normal too. If I get upset or, worse, anxious with him because he's acting upset, it just makes him worse. Hope that helps.
