...jumping into bed with me every night? For ALL of her life (14+) Feeby has always come to bed with me and slept by my head. Even when she was starting to experience some arthritis issues and stopped jumping up on stuff, she would still come into the bedroom and lay on the floor on my side of the bed. Once I gave her Glyco Flex Plus, she was back to jumping up on the bed at night.
She still spends time - as she has always done - on the recliner with me before bedtime. And, she responds to 'directives' very well, so I have always told her it is time to go to bed. She then jumps down from the recliner, has her midnight snack, and promptly follows me to bed.
For the past 2-3 weeks, the routine is pretty much the same, but after her snack she plops her butt on a spot right outside the bedroom and doesn't come to bed. I have to go pick her up, put her on the bed and then she goes right the 'usual' spot, and is there for the night.
Everything else about her is normal - eating/drinking/litter box. She also is at my side 24-7 if she can be - has been that way for years.
I know no one will really be able to tell me, but I am willing to listen to theories...
