My neighbor’s cat adopted me nearly 5 months ago and she has been living inside for about 2 of those. She has a pretty consistent routine that she follows but she’s been acting very strange since last night. She is kept in separate rooms from the dogs for right now, which will cause her to get lonely so sometimes she’ll cry at the door leading into the rest of the house. Last night, she was crying for me and I went in there to watch tv with her. Almost every night, we cuddle and watch tv on the couch and fall asleep then sometime in the middle of the night when I wake up, I’ll quietly get up and go to my bedroom. About once a week my sister will hang out with her in there instead.
So last night, even once I went in there, she was still crying. I tried to play with her, she wouldn’t play. I tried to get her to come cuddle, she wouldn’t cuddle. I put out food and she ate some of it but then went back to pacing and meowing. Finally, around 1:30am, she climbed up on my lap and went to sleep.
Every morning, much to my dismay, she eats then goes outside to play. I’m not thrilled about her going out but she is an adult and it’s going to take time to get her used to being an indoor kitty so I let her out in the late morning when kids are at school, teenagers with cars are at school, most people are at work, drunks who drive drunk are usually home sleeping it off, and raccoons and other predators are usually sleeping.
She wouldn’t go out this morning. She walked out then came back in and it’s gorgeous outside. She spent most of the morning laying on one of her favorite bed and staring outside. She played a little but not like she usually does. Then before she hid under the couch. She was just sitting in the window in the sun but when I walked over she jumped down and onto her activity tree and she’s just being very strange. What do I do?
