Brodie has been showing some unusual behaviors lately.
Yesterday, I went to lift him down off of the computer desk because he was getting into everything . . . just lifted him down normally . . . picked him up under his arms . . . nothing unusual.
He FREAKED OUT! He did that thing . . . stiffened up, his arms & legs flying everywhere . . . fur was even flying!!!
So I threw him down . . . I WAS BLEEDING BAD!
He got me in 3 different places on my right hand and my hand was bleeding pretty bad. I wanted to take him upstairs to put him in his room so he could settle down and so I could clean myself up . . . went to lift him onto the stairs and he did it again!!!
He does this all the time . . . never this bad . . . but it seems like whenever we go to put him down when we're holding him, he freaks out a little . . . claws out, stiffened up . . . even when he jumps up from being on my lap . . . when he decides he wants to get down, look out!
So is this a phase? Some kind of teenager kittey stage he's going through?
I hope it's just a phase . . . I'm almost scared to pick him up!
:eek:
edit: I forgot to add . . . I wondered if he was hurting and maybe that was why he was freaking out when I was lifting him . . . I felt around on his ribs & belly and he didn't flinch. Also, hubby came home and picked him up just to make sure . . .
