I have a theory and would like input on it if you've had a similar experience. Or if you think I'm just off my rocker...
I have been having wrist issues for about 6 months, been in constant (varying amounts) pain for about 4 1/2 months. I didn't put it together when it started, but I think Ophelia's different behavior toward me started around then too. She acts like I'm an axe murderer. She runs from me, she won't get pets from me and if she does she'll enjoy it for a minute or two and then either run away or hiss at me.
A little about Ophelia...she's a feral, now 8 years old who came into our lives as a little baby kitten. Although she's been raised with us, she is truly a feral cat. She does love her Daddy, and she is a one-person cat. He's the only one that she really trusts.
I think that the constant pain and Ophelia's reaction to me started around the same time, but honestly I'm not entirely sure. I know how cats can react to each other when one is ill or in pain. Could her change in behavior to me be the same inherent reaction?
