It was like you see in those "home videos", or on YouTube somewhere -cat freak out! But it definitely isn't funny, it's scary and worrisome! One of the cats got a hold of a plastic Target bag that I had lying around (I literally turned my back for a minute), and she got stuck around the handle - so she starts tearing around the house at TOP SPEED, bumping into things and going about 100 mph as the bag was tangled around her. The bag finally came off after a minute or two, but she was totally freaked out! She hid downstairs behind the TV and wouldn't come out for a long time. This morning, she's very skittish, guarded, scared, and even the other cats are treating her differently (my sweet "get along" cat just hissed at her)
She doesn't seem to be hurt (we've seen her walk and I've petted her and she doesn't wince or whine or anything, no limping, etc), so I think she's just traumatized from the incident - my question is: how long can I expect her very guarded behavior to last? Is there anything I can do to help her through this?
