It was 1:23 AM when I woke up this morning. And felt Taki making crazy eights diagonally across the bed. And when she scampered over me, I felt the full force of her claws. I tried to discourage her verbally: she knows the meaning of "no" and "stop." She did not take verbal direction and finally, I grabbed her, wrapped her in the sheet and held her. She was panting frantically. It took some minutes to calm her down.
I do not know what set her off: there are no bed bugs in our bed. I have battled ants in the house, but so far this summer, not in the bedroom. We do not have fleas. She may have been nipped by a stray insect, but I could not tell.
After the alarm went off this morning, she started in again. However, this time, she took verbal intervention, and stopped.
I have seen her hype herself before: she will nip at herself while rolling on the carpet, and cry while doing so. Very strange.
I feel bad. I wish I could help her.
She has been fine tonight.
