I have a large male cat that Ive known since he was a kitten. He has been in my house for a year now and is about 4-5 years old. Just in the past 4 days his behaviour has changed.
Example. He came over to me about 30 minutes ago and woke me up purring. He hangs around and gets some head rubs but the purpose is get him some food. I got up to feed him and he jumped off the bed purring as he was heading to his plate.
When we were a few feet from his bowl, he glanced behind, saw me and ran under the bed afraid. Came out a few minutes later but stayed away and acted as if he doesnt know me. This has been the pattern. He is the same with another human male in the house.
This cat gets exceptional care from everybody, has always had a tremendous disposition, nobody comes in our house, and nothing has changed.
I have no idea why he is doing this. Even when I turn the lights on and he can see me, he acts as if he doesnt know me. A few hours later he will come back and jump up to get pet.
Any thoughts on this?
