So, since the moment Chubby accepted me as his one & only human, weāve been able to play together, eat together etc ā¦
We are bonded.
Today, I took him to do laundry with me, which he received lots of stimulation from others & the environment. (I bring him almost 98% of the time - no issues.)
We went inside & he played around.
He grabbed the remote & I came to take it from him, which he held on tighter than he normally would. Normally if this happens he easily lets go.
He was being a bit defiant & I could tell something was off. He didnāt like that I did that.
Then same situation with my cellphone.
I went to sit on the couch & I put my arm next to him & he bit me! It wasnāt the usual āloveā bite, it definitely broke tiniest bit skin, no blood.
I immediately said, āOuchā which normally signifies to him that it was a āno - noā.
He stood his ground.
I slid up to the front of the couch, still sitting, withy back to him.
I heard in the wild that their flock mates would turn their back to another if they donāt like want they did.
So, I did this. He walked off to the side & I slid back & he went about his business tearing up a nearby cardboard box.
I did go blonde & chopped my hair to a pixie cut. Plus I am wearing a scarf over my head (which Iāve done before).
Maybe he doesnāt like the new color. lol
So, with that in mind, could anything have happened that triggered this?!
Is it hormonal season or something!?
Thanks guys!
