It sounds like Ice was going into a fighting stance. I suspect there was something, like another cat, coming into his territory. Be cautious when he is showing these behaviors because he could unknowingly lash out at you. It may help to have him neutered- that would decrease his hormone levels and be less likely to fight. Good luck and kisses to Ice!
