I can ask about seizures, but I’ve been observing him pretty closely these past few weeks, and I haven’t seen anything like that. But I do work away from home often as well. I talked to the vet for a long time and she said she thought it was mental. The vet I saw when I got his urine tested was...

Thanks, it’s been really stressful. This much stress can’t be good for him. I just talk to the vet this morning, she seems a little concerned, said it wasn’t normal for him to be this crazy anxious. We talk for a while about anything that could be causing it, and she said she thought it could be...

Okay, so, update, Prior was doing really well. He seemed to have almost completely gotten over the fear, but about a week ago it came back briefly, then he seemed kind of alright again. I’ve still just been letting him be. But just now, as in about 20 minutes ago, he was happy as can be. I was...

Update: Prior seems to be doing a little better, he still kind of hates the floor, but he’s actually walking on it now. The vet had recommended I give him some wet food with his regular dry stuff occasionally, way back when I had him checked for a UTI. I finally found one that he likes. He...

Thanks :) Yeah, I’ll just leave him be for a while, see if he makes any progress on his own. He’s at least coming in here by himself some. I’ll let you guys know if anything changes. Or doesn’t change after a month or so goes by, I guess. Fingers crossed.

Update: Alright I’ve been doing nothing. His fear of the floor and head of the bed hadn’t demished at all, but he has developed his own little path around the room. First he jumps to the desk, then to the desk chair, jumps all the way to the end of the bed, then jumps onto the litter box, and...

I can do that, I just don’t want him to think it’s alright to do this forever. I didn’t pressure him at all for a week when his fear of the floor started, but I still had to bring him in here at night. Then I went out of town for four days last week, my housemates said he never so much as set...

Okay, he’s still doing his little slow cautious walk through the room, he’s just walking around the walkway I made him. I tried to carry him towards the bed while he was all sleepy, but as soon as I sat down at the front of the bed he woke up and started whining. I let him go immediately and he...

Not much to report, alas he wasn’t interested in the cushion walkway. I put him on it and he seemed flinchy at first, then I petted him a bit and he warmed up right away, rolled around a lot, but he didn’t go back on his own. He seems to have slightly gotten over the fear of the bed. He’s okay...

Haha that’s a good theory! I only just figured he dreams because he’s always moving around after about an hour or so after falling a sleep. Kind of like REM sleep. Neat to know they have studies on it, and the past events thing. I had no idea. I’ll check the floor, then vacuum it again and lay...

That’s a good idea, I’ll look around. If that’s what happened do you think he’ll get over it soon? Or I could get a new rug or something. I think he might’ve just had a nightmare on the bed last night. Don’t know what else it’d be, since we were both asleep. He’s a heavy sleeper, but he’s always...

Thanks!! I’ll try that tonight and let you guys know how it goes tomorrow. I can check the floor for something pointy, but I don’t think there are any bugs in here, the freezing weather has kind of killed them all off. Also I might die if I knew a bug was on the bed that close to my face xD...

Maybe, I’ve got some of those small amazon boxes in the closet. I could stick them together for a little walkway, do you think that’d work? Or I could lay out some cushions? He really likes these ones we have on the chairs in the kitchen.

Yeah, he does have to stay in here at night. But honestly he’s loved this room since we moved here. The door is open now and he’s still sleeping on his favorite desk chair because he likes being in here. He just doesn’t want to be on the floor or on the bed. He sits on the desk a lot too. Since...

Main problem: He’s acting like being on the bed, that I’ve had his whole life, is going to kill him or something. Flailing, flinching, crying. Was a sudden and extreme change. I don’t know what’s going on. It’s been happening for about two weeks. He’s a little over one year old, his name is...
