Strange scare episode

[mon]

Cats are straight up nuts. Anyone's guess as to what their thought process is. I love every single one of them but... truly, what freaks them out is a freakin' mystery to me. Found out today one of my cats is scared of balloons. really? Live and learn eh.

Had a repeat episode yesterday morning. I was getting around to go to a family reunion, and while getting in the closet in my upstairs hallway, Smokey started nosing in like he likes to do. I was needing to close the closet door, but he was refusing to move and wanted to nose in further. So, I did what I've done hundreds of times since he was a kitten and picked him up so that I could close the door. Casey was there in the hallway too, and when I put Smokey down, he started in with hissing and growling at Casey. By the time I went to leave, he'd calmed down enough that I felt safe leaving them alone. By the time I got home late in the day, things were back to normal.

Your kitties are messing with you...
Is it possible that Smokey is painful (like arthritis), or other health issues?

Never seems to be in pain or anything. I've checked him over from time to time, and there's never been any issues. I will be mentioning the episodes the next time I take them to the vet.
