Hi all, really would appreciate some advice here. My cat's behavior is stressing me out!
So I recently took home a stray cat last month who was very sweet and loved petting. She adjusted very fast to household living, which supported my assumption that she was previously abandoned. The first 1 week or so she was really lovely and affectionate. I was able to trim her nails on 1 paw with no problems and even give her belly rubs! However recently she's been getting more aggressive, like swatting at my hand when I touch her paws and hind legs, which she previously was ok with. I've brought her to the vet already and she was given a physical examination with no abnormal results.
In your experience, is there any reason for her sudden change in personality?
If it's any help I feed and clear her litter twice a day and play with her for about 5-10 mins at night. She sometimes doesn't really like playing, preferring to sit on my bed and nap the whole day.
Thanks in advance!
