"Outdoorsy" cat suddenly scared of EVERYTHING...???!!!
We adopted Skeeter, a really sweet 2 year old orange tabby, a neutered
male, about 6 months ago. He's a really sweet cat, very passive, loves to be petted. The idiots who owned him previously declawed him, unfortunately. Skeeter has always SCREAMED to go outside, so about 3 months ago, we started letting him out, and he became one happy kitty. He always toileted outside, and loved to wander around the house, NEVER far, and usually slept inside at night. About a week ago, he ran up on the porch begging to get inside. Since then, he has been scared to death of everything. He spends almost all of his time sleeping under the bed or hiding in some far corner of a closet. We tried taking him just out on our large deck/patio, where he always LOVED to hang out with us, and the instant we put him down, he dashed to the door and started pawing at it trying to get back in, almost in a state of panic. THEN... after he got back in, he ran to a back bedroom and started pawing at a closet door, trying to get in there, as if the devil himself were after him. I'm assuming he was terrified by some dog or something. This has been going on for a week now. Any advice would be MOST welcome. Thanks, Ron M. |
