My one cat Mischief has been very clingy to me for the past month now and it's actually getting on my nerves. It is completely out of the ordinary for her.
Her usual attitude is "don't touch me unless I come to you to be touched" and even if she comes to you she ducks out of your reach. She hates to be held. She does not cuddle either. She sleeps with me every night though but always right up beside my pillows.
Lately she has been following me everywhere I go, like she is always at least a foot away from me at all times. She gets up on the couch with me and cuddles now and constantly wants my attention. So much that I can't do anything. I try to go on the computer and she sits in front of the screen and she nips at me and screams at me. While I am writing this she is bugging me. I can't go to the washroom without her running in before I close the door and begging for attention.
She now sleeps right up against me. Since I am not use to this I don't know how many times I have rolled over on her and have been woken up by her screaming at me. She does not want attention from anyone else in the house. She will once in a while go to my Grandmother for a quick pat and will race her up the stairs when she goes to bed. She ignores my mother completely. She pretty much is just clingy to me.
So my question is...since this has just started in the last month what could be causing this? What could be bringing this out in her? I know spring is coming but she was fixed as soon as she was able to be fixed. She has never acted like this any other spring...she is turning 3 in August so I can't really imagine she is missing her mother....
