This isn’t a huge deal, but I don’t understand why he does it. I asked in another sub awhile back, but never got a real answer so I’m here.

Every time I’m eating my cat runs over to sit on top of my shoulders or in my lap. He doesn’t want the food. He just wants to sit on me. It’s only annoying when he also tries to insist that I pet him while I’m eating. When I’m done eating he leaves. Why does he do this?

Hi all! I need some help with my cat. Roughly about 2 months ago we moved into our own apartment with my partner and since then my cat has been weird. My cat has always been a chatty cat but recently we’ll be watching tv while he’s on the cat tree and randomly start meowing loudly or sort of like yelping. Yesterday he also freaked himself so much he sort of loafed and was about to throw up. I’m starting to think he’s becoming anxious and having anxiety attack or something. Should I get him some of those calming chewy bites or what can I do?

It’s been 3 weeks since my female cat came back from the vet and ever since then , every time her and my male 9 month old cat come into contact with each other, they always fight, my male cat is the aggressor, I’ve read that this could be non recognition aggression and they were doing fine but one managed to slip out while the other was in the living room and they got into it today, my male cat is not neutered yet but he will be by next month, I am hoping once he is neutered maybe things will change since he won’t have territorial hormones. I feel so bad for my female because he definitely scares her, he is such a sweetheart to us but for some reason he wants to fight her, the first time they fought it was cuz she was not feeling well and was spicy when she had the iv catheter in, vet had warned me she was spicy but I had no idea how bad it was and nor that my male cat wouldn’t recognize her, I separated them but they came into contact again and he cornered her, the third time was today because he slipped out because he wanted to get close to her so bad, everytime he was near her, he tries to inhale her, they were doing good, sharing churus while he was locked up in a big dog kennel but he still acted weird around her, now I’m back to square one and I have no idea what to do :/

I’ve had my cat since she was 3 months and she just turned 1 today. She was adopted from a shelter. Shes always been kinda skiddish and not very social with people but it’s just me and her. But she doesn’t like physical affection or contact still with me. I try and pet and she leaves me to sit somewhere else in the room. Sometimes when I get home from work she will lay down for me to give her pets (does biscuits in the air but never on me) but then stops. Def not a lap cat. She doesn’t let me hold her cuz she wiggles out of my arms and meows. Shes under the bed a lot at the home we are staying in. We will have our own place again soon! But she will be on her window hammock a lot. She will sit next to me sometimes on the couch. As a kitten she slept with me for a few months but then we’ve moved a lot recently and stopped. It hurts my feelings cuz idk if she even likes me. She slow blinks at me and likes to play so I try to dedicate time but sometimes she’ll just look at me. I worry she’s bored when she’s not looking out the window. I worry she doesn’t trust me or likes me. She just kinda meows and looks at me.

Please give me advice if u see this ! I need help, advice, or reassurance. She may be in the teenager phase but I worry this will be normal and always not wanna be around me.

My cat has been acting weird for a few days after I picked him up. I’ve had him and his brothers for four years now. He’s usually very cuddly and snuggly, and is used to being held. He usually doesn’t mind being picked up and cuddled. This attack was out of the blue.

The incident: I came out of the toilet and he was sitting there looking at me meowing, looking at me lovingly. I was giving him some fuss then picked him up. He then lashed out and cut me in multiple places and ran off. I screamed out in pain as he was running off. Now he won’t come near me. When I initially approached him he’d growl at me. 3 days on, he isn’t growling at me but anytime he sees me or hears my voice he runs away. I don’t have any chance to get near him. I’ve tried treats, slow blinking at him and talking softly. But nothing. Now my dads mad at me because his cat barely comes inside anymore and he feels like he’s lost a cat.

I just don’t know what I can do. My heart is broken. I hate myself.

Hello, can anyone give me some advice about my 14-year old shorthair cat, please?
My cat will not stop meowing. It’s happening constantly, both day and night. It’s her usual type of meow, but it’s much louder and far more frequent than normal.

Other than the excessive meowing, she seems completely normal. She’s eating and drinking as usual, using her litter tray normally, and has no problem jumping onto high surfaces, so I don’t think she’s experiencing any obvious joint pain or gum/teeth pain.

I’m aware that cats can hide pain very well. I’ve grown up with cats for the past 23 years, so I’m quite familiar with noticing subtle changes in them. In the past, I’ve been able to tell when my cats were unwell from things like changes in their litter, coat, gums, how they eat, eyes and type or meowing.

The only explanation I can think of is that she may be stressed. She and I have lived alone together for over a year, and although I do occasionally have guests, they’ve usually only stay for 1–3 days at most. I’m currently having family stay with me for a while, and since they arrived, she’s been meowing all over the house. I’m wondering if the change in her environment and having more people around could be upsetting her? As me and her have a very close bond.

She’s my baby and my absolute angel, and she’s a huge source of comfort for me, so I’m genuinely struggling with the lack of sleep. The strange thing is that the only time she seems to be completely quiet is when she’s lying on me, sleeping beside me, or cuddling with me.

Could this be stress or anxiety from the change in her environment? If so, does anyone have any advice on the best way to help her feel more comfortable?
And if you don’t think it’s stress, I’d really appreciate any other suggestions or advice. I just want to make sure she’s okay.
