Your cat's unusual behavior of constant meowing and following you around may indicate that something happened while she was outside, or she may be trying to communicate a need or concern to you.
- Monitor her behavior for any signs of distress.
- Ensure she has not injured herself or encountered something upsetting.
- Consider her medical history and any recent changes in her routine.
Cats can change their behavior for various reasons, such as encountering stressors, injuries, or experiencing a change in their environment. Her persistent meowing and attachment might be her way of seeking comfort or alerting you to potential discomfort. Watching for any additional symptoms such as loss of appetite, vomiting, or lethargy can provide more context. If she encountered something that frightened her, she might also need reassurance.
