I don't know what's happening to Ladybug. She has been growling at us when we come near her blanket. She usually never uses a blanket but about a week ago I left a blanket hanging over my office chair and she snuggled up with the part that fell to the floor. She seemed to like it so much that I dusted off my crochet needle and made her her very own blanket and she just loves it. In fact, she loves any fabric that she can lay on.
My 9 year old's jacket "mysteriously" wound up on the floor and Ladybug claimed it as her own. When my daughter went to pick it up, Ladybug growled at her. The next day I dropped a paperclip next to her blanket and when I bent down to pick it up, she growled at me and even turned her head as if she were going to bite me. The final straw was this morning when my husband let her back in the house from doing her early morning business. She ran back to her blanket and when my husband bent down to pet her, she growled and attempted to bite him. He scolded her and told her to get in her crate. That was so out of character because she respects my husband as the "pack leader" so to speak.
What do I do? Do I just take the blanket from her and the behavior goes away? That doesn't seem to be the right thing to do because I feel she can become attached to something else and act out the same way. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
