Hi everyone,
This is my first post, great forum site! Anyway heres my story.
I have a 3 year old long haired indoor neutered male. Jerk is his name (husband's idea lol) He does many many strange things which I could write a short novel on, but the one that we find the strangest is........ He has had this little toy grey mouse since a young kitten. Well, since then every night now when my husband & I are in bed (we sleep in an open loft upstairs) Jerk will howl & cry at the same time picking up his toy mouse & coming up the stairs ..he does not stop crying until he drops it by our bed. He only crys (high pitched) when he picks up this mouse. Its almost like he goes back to kittenhood lol.
We got him at about 8 weeks old, I know that the previous owner bought him that toy mouse, was not used to kittens, afraid he would scratch & make a mess so she kept him locked up in an extra bathroom downstairs for 2 weeks before we took him. Do you think this might be the reason?
