Your cat's increased clinginess and sleepiness may be unusual, but these behaviors are not necessarily a cause for immediate concern. It's important to observe whether any other symptoms develop that may require veterinary attention.
- Monitor your cat's behavior for any other changes.
- Additional signs like reduced appetite or vomiting could be cause for concern.
- Consider environmental changes that might affect her behavior.
Cats, like humans, can experience days when they feel off. Increased affection or sleepiness could be your cat's reaction to a change in the environment, stress, or simply a need for more comfort. Observe her closely to see if these behaviors continue or if any new symptoms arise that might warrant a vet's visit.
