This was strange....

Every night, Chloe Bear comes up to bed with me and snuggles right up next to my chest and falls asleep. She is usually there until the early morning. Well, last night she came up to bed but she was tossing and turning! She kept moving and switching positions and it seemed like she was frustrated that she couldn't get comfortable.

I, of course, started to worry that something was wrong. If she isn't ready for bed, she just jumps down and does something else. I've never heard of a cat not being able to sleep. I was concerned that she was somehow hurt. So I kept worrying and worrying and eventually I went downstairs and she followed. She didn't have "sleepy eyes" so we played with her wand toy for a little bit and she was playing normally. I moved her legs around and pushed a little on her tummy and all over her and she was annoyed but not hurt. I gave her a little dry food snack and told her to come up to bed when she was ready.

She came up about 45 minutes later and curled up and went right to sleep with no problems! Of course, I was up until 5am watching her sleep LOL.

I hear you -- I get so worried when one of my cats does something unusual like that, I start watching them like a hawk until I'm sure nothing's wrong! I'm glad Chloe is okay. Maybe she was just hungry and didn't quite feel ready to settle down to go to bed till she ate something! I hope she continues to be perfectly fine.

Thanks! I came home today and Chloe was napping on the couch. Then, when she got up, she played and played! I'd say she's back to normal :)

Margaret, our kitties sure can cause us to worry when something happens that it out of the ordinary.  When Sammy had his urinary infection a few months ago, I sat up and watched him even after he had been to the vets. 

All the best,
