I adopted this beautiful cat in July this year, when I got him he was incredibly cuddly and loved pets. He slowly stopped sleeping on my lap and/or allowing me to pet him. He would still want to be around me and sometimes would jump up on the couch to cuddle my legs while I was watching tv. I went away for a few days and he went to stay at a friend’s house for the weekend. Where he would sit on the couch with him and slept on his bed the entire weekend. When he came home, he started spending extended periods under the bed but would still sleep on my bed. Now he will not sleep on the bed and only under it. I have tried coaxing him with treats but he will go straight back.
This is the first cat I have adopted as an adult and I am really concerned that is it something I am doing wrong, how can I try and modify this behaviour or am I over reacting and this is completely normal?
