my eldest cat bonnie is very jumpy, this beahvior has only been going on for the last three years or so and she has never ever been hit by me while iv'e had or or anything like that so i'm wondering why she does it.
she will be wandering through the house and come across an object, sometimes something new but not all the time and she will start to walk very slow towards it with her head down and sniffing, as she gets closer she lowers herself more, she also looks very tense while doing this , the first time i saw her doing this i wanted to check if she was okay so i touched her back and whoa! she seriously must have jumped about half a meter into the air
Since that first time she has done it on and off, she will usually get spooked about something around every second to third day although some days are worse than others.
A few times i have touched her when she's doing this and she actually flipped over backwards and i'm not kidding
my husband teases her about it and when he see's her in that mood will sometimes roll a ball her way and watch her jump when it bumps her foot, it is funny sometimes but i do have to wonder why she's doing it...
love,
felicia
