Hello, my 5 year old female tordie named Fearless has changed her behavior and her weight. I have 2 grown female cats, Zoe and Fearless, and one new kitten 16 weeks old named Lizzie. Her behavior change seemed to begin when I got the kitten. She has become very very calm. She is more affectionate with me. She just seems to act much older than she did 2 months ago, before the kitten arrived. She doesn't seem to want to play as much. She does play with the kitten though. She is acting like the kitten's mother.
Fearless never used to like to be picked up. Now she doesn't seem to mind me doing so and holding her for a few mins. When before she would jump right away. She used to play very hard and long and that has changed the most. She pretty much only play fights with the kitten now.
She has also gained weight...I can tell because she was always kinda sleek and now she is filled out and thick. This has all very recently happened. Again, since the kitten arrived.
Could she really believe that she is the mother? Please anyone, any opinions I would love to hear.
