My wife and I have a cat who is a little over ten years old. Within the last 4-5 months we have moved into a new 2 bedroom apartment. Madeline ( our cat ) took a couple days to get used to it, but we were surprised at how quickly she became comfortable living in our new home. She seems to be happier than she was in our old apartment. Until a few days ago when she developed a strange fear of the bedroom.
My wife was on the phone in the room, madeline was with her. ( madeline almost always sleeps with us in our bedroom and since she is people shy she usually retreats there when we have company ) My wife said she noticed that madeline was sniffing the carpet and acting strangely around the bed, madeline then became terrified of whatever it was she saw or smelled and backed herself into a wall. She was noticably shaking and when my wife tried to comfort her she darted out of the room like a bullet.
She hasn't gone into the bedroom for 3 days, we can't coax her into there. We can't seem to figure out what is freaking her out. Her litter box is in the bathroom connected to the bedroom and she won't even use it. Unfortunately she has chosen other places to go to the bathroom.
I'm really concered and I am hoping that someone may be able to give us some advice. We are going to thoroughly clean the room in the morning and clean the carpet. Maybe she just smells a previous owners pets???????
