Three times in the last six months Homer has been sleeping peacefully, then suddenly jerks himself awake, and runs to his "safe place" in the closet. When he comes out he is scared, walking low to the ground, his tail a bit puffy, and cautiously investigating everything. The first time it happened he was in his bed on top of the dresser, and he and the bed fell off. He wouldn't use the bed for six weeks after that. Then it happened on his cat tree, and he quit using that for awhile. It just happened again while we were on the couch, and I got a good feeling for what happened. His body jerked a few times, then he jumped up and ran away. He seems to think something attacked him. I checked the entire couch and found nothing. Other than this weirdness, he is perfectly fine and has never done anything remotely seizure like when he is awake. He has been in the house since I found him at 8 weeks, and this behavior just started as far as I know. He is scared of other people, the vacuum cleaner, and the broom and mop.
