So is this behavior normal? I adopted Dewey last August and his previous owner said he was maybe 4 years old. This new behavior started in the past 2-3 months, when I'm letting him run around. He will start clawing at a blanket and pillow I have. Sometimes if I pet him on his back he will also try to claw at and mount my arm and then will grab my sleeve or pant leg and tug. He also makes sort of a grunting noise and emits a musky scent. What's going on here?
