Hey yall! I am new to this site but didn't know where else to turn to get some opinions and maybe some advice. My cat had a very traumatic first birth 13 days ago. It wasnt a planned litter and she will be getting spayed. Sparing the long details, she had 3 kittens. The largest was stillborn. I couldn't do anything to save it and the runt didn't make it despite round the clock care. There is one kitten left who is absolutely thriving. The thing is though momma will not stay with her kitten unless I'm literally sitting right beside wherever she has her kitten. She moves the kitten every single day to new spots when before the runt died she was perfectly happy in her hidden away nesting box. If I need to go into another room such as the kitchen to cook, mom will move her kitten to somewhere as close as possible to me. Gypsy (mom) has become obsessed with me. I'm not sure what breed she is, I'm guessing part Siamese due to her coloring and she's always been extremely vocal and playful. Now though she refuses to leave my side, hisses and growls at my husband, and if I try to walk away from her she chases me down and attacks my legs or tries to jump up and attack my arms or face or whatever she can reach. This isn't being playful either, it's extremely aggressive and so out of character for her. Now if I stop trying to walk away gypsy will stop being aggressive and start purring and rubbing against my legs. I'm a stay at home mom so I'm with her 24/7 and she gets all the attention and play time she could ask for and honestly she probably has more toys than my daughter does so I know this isn't attention seeking behavior or just wanting to play. I was a vet tech for years, I've owned cats all my life, and I've fostered numerous momma's and litters of kittens. This is my first time experiencing this kind of behavior and quite frankly I am dumbfounded. Our vet says gypsy is healthy so it's not an illness, infection or something causing her pain. She adores my daughter and sort of treats my daughter as if she's a kitten (For example if I am not holding daughter Gypsy will try pulling my daughter by the back of her shirt towards the area her kitten is in and is always trying to groom my daughter) What in the world would cause this kind of change in personality? What can I do to deal with this? Please tell me this behavior will change or go away once the kitten is weaned! It's out of control and I'm at a loss here.
