General Chat

Our cat won't be left in a room alone and always seeks company. Guess she invites her friends in when both of us are out together. Neighbours say she visits them. My late aunt's late cat, Murphy, certainly preferred the light and used to leap at the old-fashioned light switches, if a room was in darkness, and pull them down Aunt had all switches, except one, reversed so that they were down when in the 'off' position. Murphy never learned to press them up. A previous cat of mine used to sit in the bathroom basin and turn on the tap. She also pulled all the toilet paper off the roll into a neat pile on the floor. It must have given her enormous pleasure. Maybe she was a golden labrador in a previous life? Len

its possible im sure, my dog always gets nervous at lots of stuff, road cones, black bin bags rustling in wind, even lampost once, this time of year its fireworks, she hears um at miles away, and cuddles on our bed, she does sleep in daughters room most nights, but in ours when fireworks are going

I think cats can be scared of the dark - I'm sure one of my moggies is. Jan

Oh ek, i live in a flat, so when i moved, put her in the bathroom for safety....i left the light on though.

Or have you recently washed or altered something she sleeps on so it's lost her scent??

Just had a thought, was she in a box or in the dark when you moved house? Marion

Pepsi doesnt go out either, oddly enough, i cant find Mr Mouse anywhere!

Strump The move will probably upset her a bit to, poor wee puddy tat. You spoil her rotton lol Marion

Strump At least it will alay any worries - if all proves ok then just carry on spoiling and cuddling her :O)

She maybe knows that when the light go out...the cuddles for her stop. My cat does a bit of yelling some night's too, but it's to get me to play 'fetch' her mouse. She is a house cat seems happy during the day but I think she gets the urge to out at night as she wanders back and forward,or races from one room to the other,having her mad half hour. She sleeps in the kitchen at night though. Marion

It is recent and only next door, so its probably confused her as well. This is one spoilt puddy tat, but ill call the vet anyway.

Hi Strump If the move is recent that could be affecting her too - bless her - give her lots of cuddles :O)

I best call the vet tomorrow. Ill panic now.

Best get her checked out Donna. Our cat is a week into her thyroid treatment, got to have another blood test tomorrow. She also had a liver infection, so hoping that has cleared now. The eating hasn't slowed up much yet, but she is a lot less fidgety, but still very vocal. Ros.

I will Anne, thanks. I have moved as well.

Oh dear didn't mean to worry you - I would be inclined to get her checked anyway - any change in behaviour - especially eating/drinking habits shouldn't be ignored - a simple blood test will tell :O)

Oh flippin ek! But she is fine in the day time? Like having a child, fine all day, then a tinker soon as hubby gets home.....hmmm allergic to men??

Get her checked out by your vet - these are potential symptoms of thyroid disease - my eldest went the same way including becoming extremely vocal!!! Had one thyroid gland removed about 2 years ago but he is displaying same behaviour again, which the vet warned me could happen!! Don't fret tho - it's nothing 'drastic' and can easily be overcome by removal or tablets (for life), but I would get her checked out. Anne xx

Yes she does Anne, whats that mean????

Strump Does she demand food - eat a little - go away then come back demanding more ???
