Can cats be 'menopausal'?

#1 Post by MartDude » Sat Apr 03, 2010 11:09 am

Our cat - approaching 9 - has, in the last couple of months, become increasingly demanding and clingy; everything - food, let out, cuddle - has to happen NOW!. No apparent reasons for her to develop feelings of insecurity. Any cat psychologists on here?

:smt005 Interesting thought. It's a reason I hadn't considered.
I accepted regular episodes like that as just cat behaviour, specially since toms do it too.
In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

Perhaps it's just a mid-life crisis, then.
Best/worst cat's 'trick' I've ever experienced was performed by my mother's Burmese - he'd sit on the handrail round the landing, wait for someone to pass beneath, then drop on their head/shoulder from 6 or 7 feet up. Terrifying in the dark.
