Hi, im new to these forums.. I joined because i have a question.
I got a new cat on Canada's Day from my cousin, she's a year old.
Ever since we got her she has not been a vocal cat.. But when she did meow it was very quiet.
Yesterday my brother came home from work and she started to meow constantly and louder also. Not only was she being more vocal, but she was also trying to fit into the tiniest places around the house -something she hasnt done before. Last night we put her in the basement (where she sleeps because we have 3 birds and we cant trust her around them alone yet) and she seemed very uneasy... Which was weird. She also crawled into a corner of the basement where there was only enough room for her to sit, and just sat there watching me. She has never done that before. We thought that maybe it was because her litter was dirty, so i cleaned it about 4 times yesterday -no change in her behavior.
We thought that something happened yesterday that might of scared her or something but when i woke up this morning and opened the baement door.. She was at the bottom of the stairs waiting.. Then she ran up the stairs, something she never does.. She usually waits for me to come down and get her.. She has still meowing constantly today and she has been following me EVERYWHERE i go, i went in the washroom and she sat at the door pawing to come in and meowing louder than ever.
We dont know what happened..
Does she want attention? Because me and my brother give her attention constantly..
We think that maybe she saw something in the basement that frightened her and made her uneasy ever since.. Or maybe she is pregnant and starting to look for a place to put her kittens, but my cousin told us she was an indoor cat and has never been outside..
We dont know what could be the problem..
Anyone have any advice?
-Sorry for the very long post..
