User ID: 18373227 United States 12/21/2012 10:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Cats are freakin out, arcs everytime I try to pet and calm them Seriously, they are usually pretty laid back, around 7 years old. They are very 'clingy', they are not usually. They will chill out next to me when im on the computer and then suddenly jump up and bolt under my bed, or into the bathroom, or downstairs. Then, after 5-10 minutes they come wandering back in and chill out again. Still clingy though. They usually pick out their own spot somewhere in the house, but they are staying close to me for some reason. Except when they freak out. Before pet people ask, yes they have been fed and the cat box is clean. ;) When I pet them anywhere other than the head it arcs and gives a nice snap shock. And no, I'm not running around the house rubbing my socks on the carpet. Weird huh?

My cats have been the same, minus the electric shocks, for about 3 weeks now. They are usually near me but lately they want to be right on top of me. One is literally sleeping on top of me at night, no matter what position I am sleeping in. It's like I am suddenly his catbed and he's not going to sleep anywhere else. Another who has always been friendly has become extremely affectionate, far more than normal. She has been sleeping next to me everynight also. Our shy cat who stays almost exclusively in the basement bathroom she decided was her safe zone, is venturing out to be near us. They are all doing the sudden spazz and bolt manuever more than normal too. None of the behavior is really bizzare, just odd for them. I haven't seen them display so much need to be nearby before. |

my cat is spastic, clingy, and randomly freaking out lately also. He is usually very chilled out and laid back. He is quiet also, usually, but the last 2 weeks or so very loud meowing like he is trying to get me to notice something. |

Was weird, he didn't seem pissed and let me pet him, but his hair on his back was standing up like they do when they are ready to fight or growling. weird stuff! |
