Hi,
A brief history of my fur baby. Tilly is a 9 year old, Medium Hair Tortoiseshell & White. She has been spade.
As a kitten she started out at the local Cats Protection & had one former owner for 6 years prior to my Nan. When the first owner passed away, Tilly was returned to the cats protection where my Nan then provided a loving home.
When Tilly lived my my Nan other cats (strays & those with owners) naturally migrated towards my Nan & some even took it upon themselves to feel right at home. Tilly didn't make a fuss & would eat meals with them, although she would spend a lot of time under the bed alone. Tilly also enjoyed exploring the garden & basking in the sun.
My husband & I have provided a loving home for my Nans cat since November 2019 as she was no longer able to care for her due to having Dementia.
Tilly has always been loving & friendly, enjoys a fuss, but also enjoys her solitude. She also gives what I call love nips, followed by excessive licking.
We do have a cat (stray?) that occasionally comes by & they really dont get along, so we're making every effort to discourage this behaviour... water spray bottles etc. Tilly also seems afraid to spend time in the garden alone & tends to only go outside when my husband or I are with her. If she does wander outside alone, she never goes far.
Until one month ago Tilly has occasionally begun doing a stalker like approach & has bit my husband & myself on the face, arm, leg & foot.
This behaviour usually coincides with us crying, laughing, blowing our nose & her not receiving immediate attention.
Please, does anyone have any answers or ideas as to why my fur baby is acting out like this? All responses welcome!
Kind regards
Helen
