I have a cat who is usually a pretty loveable and plafull boy. However, sometimes, especially on my bed, he will randomly get scared and freak out over something? Usually it seems to be when a blanket or chord (such as a phone charger) touches him. This usually happens about once a week, and it can take a a couple hours up to even a few days at a time for him to start coming in my room again.
Usually when he is scared, he runs into the living room and is shaking, though he let's me comfort and pet him, and he will rub against me wanting me to let him until he calms down. However, as I said, it still takes him a while to come back to my room.
I'm not sure what would be causing it though? It has never happened with any of his 3 sisters, but I'm worried one day he may claw them when he gets scared. He has clawed me pretty badly before when he lands on me jumping away from the blanket or chord, so I'm worried he may land on one of his sisters one day. There seems to be no build up that I can see. Just before it happened today he was sleeping on the bed, woke up and licked his sister, but got scared when my phone charger touched his tail. A couple of weeks ago he got scared when his sister moved under a blanket he was walking on. Other times he is completely fine with my phone charger or blankets though. Is there a way to find out what causes these seemingly random periods of fear of blankets or chords, or prevent them?
