Last night at bedtime Bass was sitting on the end of the bed as usual and I was brushing her.
She normally LOVES being brushed - she'll purr, dribble, rub her chin on the brush and totally lose herself in it but last night she suddenly looked distracted and stared past me at the bedroom door. I thought she'd just heard a noise from the other room so I carried on brushing her but then out of the blue she leapt sideways about three feet, landing in the middle of the bed!
She stood there looking very confused, sniffing and turning round and when I went to stroke her, she fled.
When OH and I went to bed, she came back in but still looked very jumpy, and sniffed all round the bedroom door and just inside the room, jumping at every sound (normal sounds, like the fridge switching on in the kitchen). Eventually she came and sat on the bed but when OH moved very slightly, she jumped so badly she practically did a little dance!
I've no idea what spooked her. She seems fine this morning. She can be a bit nervy sometimes but I've never seen her like that.
