This morning while getting around for work, I was coming out of my bedroom, and Casey and Smokey were stretched out on the hallway floor outside the door. While stretching a leg out to step over them, Smokey decided he was going to take off, jumped up, and collided face-first with my bare foot in the air, nearly knocking me off balance. I shouted out, thinking I was going over, and he went running down the floor. Regaining my balance, I went downstairs to check on him with Casey following me down the stairs. Getting to the bottom of the stairs, Smokey was hissing and growling at me and Casey. I tried talking to him to calm him down, and he just started screaming at Casey, scaring me enough to stay back from him. By the time I was about to go to work an hour later, he'd calmed down with only occasional growling when Casey got close. Coming home after work, everything was back to normal.
What has me wondering is what got him so upset. I've fallen before with him around, and he's never gotten upset like that. Anybody have any ideas?
