Not sure what's happening w/Coco Puff

No, not heard of it or experienced it. Poor baby is having nightmares maybe.

That's what it seems like to me. I rescued him from kittenhood so what in the world would he have nightmares about? He's had a cushy life. LOL

I think that Cocoa Puff is having a dream.
He smells Sea Food and then sees a restaurant with signs of all sorts of great platters of shrimp, tuna and lobster.
He runs to the door and sees that horrible word.
CLOSED!
No wonder he screams NO!!!

We are hoping that it is a bad dream, and nothings wrong with Big Cocoa Puff

Is this a recent development or has he always done it?

It started about a week ago. He was sleeping at the bottom of my bed and had an episode and I flew out of bed b/c I thought he had hurt himself. He really is loud and seems to be in distress. My Creamsicle does it, too, but she always has and I chalked it up to her CH. Coco Puff is very slightly CH so maybe that's the link.

Could someone have possiably (innocently or not) hurt him or just scared the daylights out of him? That is such a puzzel but I can't see him suddenly start having nightmares without something triggering it.. or possiable another cat hurt or scared him?

Nothing as simple as that, I'm afraid, Laura. He was the only sleeping upstairs w/me when it first happened and he was alone on the back of the sofa yesterday evening. I sure hope it doesn't continue. I feel so badly for him. His blue eyes get as big as saucers.

As this is a recent development then I think you are taking the right course of action in getting him checked over. Just because there is no obvious sign of injury or illness it doesn't mean there isn't something going on that needs looking at.
