A tad confused...

I think i'm doing something wrong. Freddie has chosen me as his "chosen one" and Cecilia has always been jealous. I haven't been much of a problem, up until today...

...I came home from Subway, looking forward to a nice fast-food dinner. I took out the greys, and they stepped up immediatly. Cecilia got a taste of the Veggie Delite sandwich I had been eating... for a bit of it fell down as I was walking off.

A little later on, she started acting funny. Cocking her head, fluffing up and doing her evil eye. I didn't think much of it, until I asked her to step up. Fluff.

"Come on Cecilia. Step up."

CHOMP.

I withdrew, suprised. It didn't hurt that much, although I could tell it was a "bite" because she had broken the skin barrier. Aree's bites hurt more then hers, but Cecilia had never bitten me before.

I didn't know what to do, because I was so taken aback. I immediatly told her she was being bad in a mutual tone, not to get her excited. Then I tried to get her into her cage, with a stick, just in case...

She chomped on the stick. SOO glad it wasn't me. I finally forced her to get onto the stick, and she went into her cage, ignored, for the next five or so minutes.

Freddie seemed to like getting all of the bits of almonds I was giving him for being such a "good boy" for not biting me.

Just a few minutes ago, I took out Cecilia and got her on the top of her cage. She was fine, up until I sat in my usual spot on the floor. As usual, Freddie climbs down to sit on my knee. Cecilia follows... NOT usual.

At this point, i'm a little confused, but not upset. Maybe i'm now considered a friend by her standards.

No. Not a friend.

Cecilia comes down, followed by Freddie, and they start nipping at my feet. Ouch! Next goes the jeans. I stand up, and come over to the computer and write this. Freddie NEVER bites, He's SO gentle. Him nipping at my feet, constantly, and then moving up to my legs is VERY odd. I don't want them to hate me. I want to change this all before I become the "hated" one.

Any suggestions?

HHHmmmm Very strange indeed. Unfortunately I do not own any Greys, so I will leave this up to the Grey owners and experts! How old are they?

Ya know, they are soo smart, maybe they are trying to tell ya something! Like, Maybe they didn't like the smell of your feet or pants! Were you playing with a dog or cat? lol!!!
