Four years ago my friend passed away and I moved into the house she was renting. One of the things I inherited was her cat, Faith. The cat has always appeared healthy and normal, as best as I can determine. I grew up with dogs and am a little unfamiliar with cats.
This past summer the cat started to stare at an electrical out let for hours at a time. I'd come home from work and she would be staring at this AC outlet. I'd wake up in the morning and she would be staring at the same outlet. The behavior was disconcerting. I spoke to my landlord and he thought that perhaps there were mice in the wall.
I have no history of mice, bugs or any other critters.
So we cut into the sheet rock to take a peak and found no evidence of mice. The behavior of the cat was now starting to scare me. Took the the cat to a Vet and had a full workup and the Vet gave the cat a clean bill of health.
I decided to place a book shelf in front of the AC outlet. As soon as I did that the cat seemed back to her normal self.
Now for the past two weeks the cat has began fixating on another AC Outlet. She is normally pretty affectionette but now seems oblivious to me, her food intake has fallen a bit too. I obstructed this second outlet with a beanbag and the cat just meows at the wall non stop. Do i need a different Vet or a priest? Is this normal behavior for a cat? It is getting to the point where I am afraid to come home because this cat is starting to scare me. Any ideas?
