Your cat’s sudden increase in affection could be due to a variety of factors, such as changes in her environment or health concerns. Monitoring her behavior can help determine if a vet visit is necessary.
- Look for any changes in appetite or weight
- Observe if there's any unusual behavior such as hiding or aggression
- Check for physical symptoms like lumps, bumps, or signs of distress
Cats can become more clingy due to stress from environmental changes, such as new members in the household or alterations in routine. Additionally, health issues like pain or discomfort, although subtle, can make a typically independent cat seek more comfort and reassurance. It’s important to be attentive to these changes as they might indicate underlying issues that should be checked by a veterinarian.
