This is weird to me...i've never been in this situation before...
Two weeks ago my fiance and I adopted a stray that had been hanging around our apartment (don't worry...we checked and she doesn't belong to anyone). When we first brought her in she would jump on our laps and be pretty affectionate. She just seemed happy in general.
But within a week that has changed completely. She won't sit on our laps unless we sit her down with us (then she will usually leave anyway). She doesn't always purr when we pet her (but doesn't look very mad, either). Sometimes when we pet her she'll move out of our reach or turn the other way and face the opposite direction. Its not like we're harrasing her all the time for attention...
We've tried playing with her. We talk to her. I don't know what to do. My last cat was very sassy/grouchy, but I never got the feeling that she didn't like me. With this cat...I'm not so sure. I've never had a cat where I felt like it didn't like me.
What the heck should we do?
