I don't know what it is about these kittens, but they make my heart skip a beat constantly... Last night I went to weigh Cayko and I usually scruff them when I pick them up. I placed her like this onto the scale. I used to put a towel over the scale but now that they are older I don't see it as necessary. When I set her in there she was sort of sitting with her nose to the ground. At first I thought she was smelling but she was so still. Chris was watching too. Then as her weight was over to one side a little she just fell over, absolutely in the same position. She didn't move...like she was frozen. Since one of our cats has seizures sometimes, Chris thought she was having a seizure. I panicked and picked her up and set her on the floor and she jumped up and ran off like nothing had happened.
I think the combination of scruffing her and the strange feeling of metal maybe caused her to be still (that survival instinct in teh kitten I think somehow kicked in, where if you are not still then something will get you)... At least its easy to weigh them like that but still, that made me nervous.
