I recently moved myself and my one year old kitten to an apartment. It's a bit of a downsize from my family home, but I have cat trees and even stairs that I exercise her on regularly. From when we first moved in, she has had a weird obsession with the ceiling. Part of me thinks it has something to do with the popcorn ceiling, but I may just be grasping at straws. She'll stretch herself up on the walls and look towards the ceiling meowing loudly, eventually she'll look back towards me. She wants me to pick her up and bring her closer to the ceiling, but if I don't do that (and when I inevitably set her down) she'll keep meowing and looking for a way to get up. I recently had to close my closet doors (except for when I quickly go in and out for clothes) because she began jumping with her claws out at my hanging clothes and haphazardly climbing them to try and reach the ceiling. This always ends with new holes in my sweaters and her falling fast and hard. She's never done anything like this. She does love to climb, but she's never driven herself mad to do it. No matter how many times she falls or hurts herself trying to get to the ceiling, she keeps doing it. Has this happened to your cats before? What can I do to help her relax and stop?
