Talk about Rotten Timing
You decide to leave the hole. Whatever's out there in the dark, you'd rather encounter it with room to run. Maybe nothing will eat you before you reach the ground. You climb out of the hole and start carefully down the tree.
Climbing is harder in the dark, and now that you're not panicking, you can't help thinking that your four little paws are all that stand between you and a two-story drop to the ground. As if that wasn't bad enough, you're having trouble keeping your grip. Something seems to be wrong...
It takes you a moment to realize what's going on. You're changing again.
