This is Bailey,

back when she used to be 'normal'. That is, before today. Bailey always sleeps with us, most of the night, that is, and is always there when we wake up in the morning. Until last night, that is. This morning she was 'on guard', wide awake in the living room, when Carol got up early and brought her to bed. She was totally spooked and spent her time at the foot of the bed, wide-eyed, sniffing the air, staring around the room, and jumping like a startled 'scairdy cat' at every sound or touch. This is a Maine Coon cat that attacks (big) dogs that wander into our yard, chases squirrels thru the trees and 'owns' the house when the Golden Retrievers come over. We took her outside, and she refuses to leave the deck, staying on top of the table, warily looking in all directions and poofing up her hair at every sound. She is SPOOKED!, and we don't know why. It's like a ghost moved into our house and only she can see it. Weird...(Update) As of mid day, when she has usually been asleep for hours, she is sitting on the upper rail of the stairway, continually staring back and forth around the room. This cat who usually sleeps 3/4 of the time, hasn't closed her eyes all day, and has now started meowing, nearly constantly. I can't find any sign of injury on her. Physically, that is...
