Hello, and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Something may have recently startled Alice that she's feeling a bit jumpier than usual. Give her some quiet time alone (30 minutes or so), and try again, being careful to approach slowly and quietly, talking softly to her. She may just need some time to settle down. Good luck! Hope this helps :-)
