Leopold just scared the crap out of me! I went to check on them and he was in a bunny loaf position over by the wall. He was gently rocking back and forth with his eyes half closed. Then his head sunk down until his forhead was resting on the corner of the cardboard scratcher that was sitting right in front of him. I went over to him and asked him if he was okay. I know, I know, he can't hear me. I started petting his head and he just sat there. I called my husband. He was like "he's just sleeping". Um, I don't think so. He told me to try picking him up. We would know something is wrong if he let me pick him up. Sure enough, the second I touched his sides he sprung up and then quickly backed up to get away. He looked at me and then shot off like a rocket. What the heck? I offered him a treat and he ran over to greedily snatch it. Hmm..

Was he just dozing and didn't know I was there at first? He is deaf, so he may not have been fully aware if he was half asleep.

I wouldn't say he loves to be pet. You can usually pet his forehead and he will point him nose up to the ceiling when you do it. He doesn't like being pet on his back and sides as much. He seems fine today. I'm thinking he must have been dozing off and wasn't fully aware of what was going on. It was just weird.
