Hi all.
Girlfriend is about 7 years old, and I just noticed recently a couple of odd behaviors. First, when I cough, she "yells" at me. It's like that sound they make when they are stalking birds through the window, but she doesn't have the stalker stance. She could even be sleeping and when I do it, she yells at me in her sleep. SHe's like a crotchety old man suddenly.
Next, and this is also new, she has started pawing at her food bowl as if she just went in the litter box and is trying to cover it up. I got her some new food the other week and she really didn't like it (barfing around the house, not eating it in general) and that's when I first noticed the pawing thing. She paws so violently I'm surrprised she hasn't knocked all her bowls over.
Any ideas? Is this just --**gasp**-- age? She seems fine otherwise. I got her new food right away that I know she likes and she's been eating and using the litter box just fine.
Thanks!
