Hi all,
Since my sister-in-law moved in 3 months ago, my cat Lokum has been behaving differently. I have had Lokum for 3 years. She's 4 years old.
Previously my cat had free range of the house, but now she is not allowed in my sister-in-law's room. She always keeps her door shut and Lokum can't go in, day or night.
Aside from that, the only thing that has changed is Lokum spends less time alone. My sister-in-law is home for most of the day every day and this could be what is triggering Lokum. Here are some of the strange things that have happened since then:
-Lokum scratches at my sister-in-law's door, meows, or generally tries to get in. This happens when I'm not home more but it also happens when I am at home
-Lokum throws up somewhat randomly, and has only done so when I am not there
-Lokum tries to jump up on tables, counters, other furniture she previously didn't try to.
-Lokum will attempt to eat food that is left out, and she never did that before either
-She has started sleeping on top of the wardrobe rather than on the floor in my room or on the bed with me
The only one of these things that seriously bothers my sister-in-law is the vomit, and I don't blame her. It looks gross, sounds gross, and is kinda terrifying when it happens, to be honest.
My sister-in-law is not a cat person and doesn't really like cats, but as far as I know she has been totally civil with Lokum and tries to pet her or play with her from time to time.
Do you guys have any idea what might be causing all this weird stuff, and if there is anything I can do? It's been three months and if I get another call from my sister-in-law while I am work I'm gonna go crazy!
Also, is it possible Lokum has some medical problem or is all of this pretty psychological?
Thanks in advance!
