Thank you for your time in explaining. I feel better and yes..ill take her to vet if needed. She came out played and ate.. But sleeping again. She seemed to poop a lot yesterday..But Normal amount today.This is also the time of year when cats get colds, just like people. She may sleep a bit more if she's fighting something off.
You may notice seasonal changes in her sleep and eating patterns. That's okay too.
If you feel she's being lethargic, do a pinch test on the back of the neck and check hydration level. Also check urinary and poo output (aka litter) and water/ food intake. Keep an eye for the next few days and if no changes, consider veterinary attention.
You can also wake her to play with you if you want.
In my experience, the longer you have a cat the more comfortable they are. The first few days you had her she might have slept hard and long due to stress. After time passes you might notice a cat sleeping harder and longer due to comfort.
Lily, our late cat, didn't cuddle anyone for many years and then she did cuddle me every day. Over a decade she slowly went from hiding from people to being an ambassador for cats and specifically black cats. But there's a few leaps of progress I can think of. Magnus, our current cat cuddled us at first, and then did not and now after two years recently began again. We believe it was because he wasn't feeling well for a bit so that's why he stopped cuddling.
Wandering can be a sign of anxiety if it's constant and without settling, so I would think it's a good sign that your cat feels more secure. Some cats do laps periodically of the home as it's their territory, but there should be rest in between the pacing.
