So, a couple of days ago my husband washed all the bedding at the same time which he normally doesn't do. Sheets, comforter, blankets, the works.
All of it went back on our bed nice and clean and smelling great.
Luna for some reason has been completely triggered by the scent of the detergent and is going insane by it. I mean, wacko. And it's not a new detergent. Every time she gets onto the bed she's attacking it, rolling around, then madly licking herself, jumping and if we're near her, rushing at us and then running away to the other side of the bed. It's like she's reverted to behavior she had when she was 5 months old but that was just little kitten behavior. She's a year old now and has been very bed friendly for months.
Now this wouldn't be too bad if...she wasn't doing this at night also. Last night, I could not get to sleep for nearly an hours because she was so wired from the scent and I was afraid to shut the light and have her running over me in the dark. And this morning at 5:00 am I was woken up by her running all over the bed and she wound up scratching one of my toes in the process.
Has anyone ever had this experience before? Is this a known thing from detergent smells? I asked my husband if he had maybe put some bleach into the laundry also because I know that sometimes can trigger cats but he had not.
