Our boy Saxon has been acting a little weird today, after spending all day with him, we went out for dinner and with friends for a bit, after we got home he greeted us at the door he became very cautious and slowly moved towards the back door like there was something out there. We turned the backyard light on and nothing was out there. We took him to our bedroom as we were getting ready for sleep and he sleeps at the foot of our bed and he was being very playful and trying to chase his tail but he had burnt his paw the last couple of days so we didn't want to engage him in play to much in case he aggravated it. I picked him up and fell gently into bed holding him (as I do with him often) and he freaked out! he jumped out of my arms and half way across the room and didn't land on his feet. when he got up was very very wary and scared. My partner picked him up for a while and he was fine but then after 10 minutes sat in bed with him and again he freaked up and scratched her up good, he never used excessive force until then. again he was very cautious, and looking up at the bed sniffing around holding his paw up. He sniffed around alot of the room jumping any time we made a noise. eventually he went out of the bedroom and went to his area near his scratching post in the living room. We needed to go to sleep as it was after midnight and I had to get up at 6AM, he didn't come to bed which was weird for him but slept on a pile of my partners clothes else where in the house.
This morning he was less on edge but still not normal he still didn't want to come into our bedroom, away from it he was he a very loving cat and was all rubbing up against us. He was very scared off the pantry where his food is kept where normally he tries to get all up in there.
Can cat pain killers or antibiotics affect behavior? Or has something just really spooked him?
