    I don't know what went on...

    Here are some possible things-

    A) they might have been scared by all of that

    B) they might have been kind of moody, frustrated, or something



    Thank you,

    When Mac was younger, if something upset or scared him, he would scratch you with meaning! It didn't happen very often, but he would actually growl at you before he scratched and we would give him all kinds of space then. He hasn't done this in a couple of years now, so I'd say he's mellowed. Yeah, fear can turn your normal, loving, kitty into a scratch monster.

    Aw, I'm sorry Bacardi got so frightened and confused and then took it out on you.
    In my opinion, it was a combination of having been shut in the room, the dark, not recognizing you and the dogs kind of making Bacardi feel "trapped". I think it was a fear reaction.

    I have to say, it also could be senility setting in. So ask your vet about it. There are meds to help but you have to start them before symptoms become acute. When our Jack Russell got up to about age 16 1/2, she started showing signs of senility. It got worse between 16 1/2 and her 17th birthday. She had day & night all mixed up, spent the nights pacing, panting, whining and barking. I sat up with her many nights while my husband tried to wrap his mind around the fact she was failing....In my attempts to comfort her in her confused state, she snapped and nipped me several times. It was a very difficult 6 months of so. We didn't know about the meds that could've been tried and didn't really recognize the initial symptoms as senility setting in, so by time we tried the meds, they didn't help any.

    Pat's right. When I was in VT staying with the girls (KitKat and Freckles) KitKat would walk around the bedroom at night yowling, looking for her baby, Freckles (16 years old). I put in a nightlight which helped.

    Try a little catnip. It might help calm her. As far as your wounds are concerned, pour Hydrogen Peroxide on it and then put an antibiotic ointment on it. If you see (which I'm sure you know) a red line or redness with swelling, get to the doctor quickly, as it will only get worse without the kick a$$ medication only a doctor can give you.
