Things are stranger and stranger here.
After the episodes of sudden aggressivity and fear , now Freya is showing another weird behavior.
She's not responding to her name anymore
When I rescued her and brought her nome, I named her Freya, and in less than 2 days she had learned her name, evidence that she is smart!
Since then she has always responded to her name. When I would call her, she would come quickly if she was in another room, or would look up to me is she was laying on my lap or next to me. She never failed once, not even when she was sleeping.
Just her name and she was there or looking into my eyes loudly purring. She was sweet and loving.
In the last 5 or 6 days she has stopped responding to her name. She doesn't come when called, nor she turns to me or looks at me anymore, just like if I'm silent. No matter how many times I say her name, no way, she doesn't respond.
And, to add weird to weird, she isn't purring anymore either, or at least, her purring is rare and almost "whispered".
She also used to jump on my shoulder in the morning, to purr right into my ear and give me kisses on my nose. None of this is happening in the last days anymore.
She still follows me, jumps on my lap, plays me with me and has fun, but no purrs.
This morning we had a follow up visit at the vet's for her neurological problem. I told the vet what was going on, but the vet didn't say anything, as always...
I don't know if this behavioral change has something to do with what happened to her, or if she's growing up (nearly 8 months old) and is behaving like a teenager who dosn't listen to their parents, or if this is the result of too much shouting at her or relocating her in another room when we're eating to prevent her from stealing our food from the plates, and she's feeling insulted or offended.
I'm between desperate and disappointed, I never had such a hard time with a cat before.
Any hint?
