Why does my anxious cat scream and panic over closed doors?

“shes a little bitey, she gets overstimulated and doesn’t know how to deal with it, thats what makes me sad about rescues they find affection overstimulating.”source ↗

“Sometimes she gets really overwhelmed and will run, scream or bite.”source ↗

“I saw this post too! But I've no idea what she's gotten into because she's a stray that comes and goes”source ↗

“he’s just as unnerved as he was when I first brought him.”source ↗

“he’s still a curious cat!!! He’s only 9!!! And he’s freaking burrowing under my bedspread like a freaking groundhog”source ↗
