Hi Carol

Yes, it’s common for cats to display playful behavior, especially when they are adolescents or young. It’s important to continue playing with her to keep her active and engaged. However, it’s essential not to encourage any behavior that involves attacking feet, as this can lead to inappropriate behavior as she grows older. Instead, redirect her focus to appropriate toys and activities during playtime.

All the best

My cat is not very affectionate. But, I think she is playing with me. When I walk in the room she runs away, then stops and looks back to see if I am following her. She will hide behind furniture and jump out at me. She doesn’t seem agressive she seems like she is playing with me. Do cats do that?

I have a 14 week old kitten and I just experienced unconditional love. I forgot his feeding time by a few hours and felt AWFUL despite getting it 95% of the time. I was crying while he was eating and afterwards, came to me and I picked him up.

He starting purring, licking my face and snuggling into me. No doubt he has bonded with me. Pets just enrich our lives in unexpected ways…

Hi Emma,

From what I can tell, you have a close relationship with your one-year-old cat.

Guarding is usually a protective behavior that is often a sign of affection.

I suggest reading this informative article: 10 Signs You Might Have a Clingy Cat (https://cats.com/clingy-cat-10-signs), to determine if your cat’s behavior is becoming too clingy.

Enjoy spending time together.

My 1 year old cat leads me to the bathroom, to the kitchen, everywhere. I follow my cat to my usual places. when I am resting she sleeps in the cat tree or on my bed. When I move she wakes and stands before me like a guard dog. Why does she do this?

Hi Dorothy

Thank you for getting in touch with us, sorry to hear about the recent conflict.

Can you please let me know what changes have occurred in the recent week or two? have you had any human or cat visitors recently or have you taken one of the cats to the vet?

There could be many reasons for the behavioral change, from stress to illness.

Perhaps the following stress audit will help answer some of your questions: https://www.petnurture.com.au/feline-stress-audit/

Otherwise if you’re unsure, I would take both cats to the vet for a thorough check up.

Hope this helps

In reply to Peter Robinson. Hi Peter, I'd recommend reading Tanya's Comprehensive Guide to Feline Chronic Kidney Disease, which offers an incredible wealth of knowledge on this condition and how to give your CKD cat the best possible life. It also has a support group, which you can join to connect with other people on the same journey. Wishing you all the best!

In reply to Darlene P Saltalamachia. Raw food is best, just learn how to deal with potential harmful bacteria, i.e, dipping/blanching with boiling water.
