One of my two cats has been very needy over the past few days and I have no idea why, but I was hoping someone here might have some thoughts?
He tends to be pretty loving in general, and usually wants to lay next to my husband or I (or on top of one of us if laying on the couch) for a while in the evenings. When we go to bed, he sometimes wants to cuddle, but that usually lasts only a short while and then he does his own thing for the rest of the night. The past few days, though, he has been by my side almost constantly it seems, and it's been just me - not my husband. Next to me, at my feet, on top of me, laying two feet away while I cook, etc., all.the.time. This "morning" (I woke up much too early), he jumped up on the bed as soon as I opened my eyes, and wedged himself between my shoulder and the pillow and pressed the side of his face against mine, purring like crazy.
I'm worried that all this lovey-ness might mean he's sick or something, as he tends to be one who will seek me out rather than hide when he's upset or nervous. We've had some rain and storms lately, and those always scare him a lot - he always wants to be pressed against me or wants me to hold him when it's storming. But the neediness has lasted well outside of those times over the past 4 days or so.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to what might be going on?
