Hello!
I have my baby kitty who's no longer so little anymore, who used to sleep with me on my bed, next to my head, on the pillow, every night from the first night he was at home with me. But not anymore...
I got him at around 2 months old, and he's a little over 4 months old now. I noticed since maybe 2 weeks ago, he no longer sleeps with me. He usually would get in the bed a little while after I got myself comfy, but now he sleeps in his carrier or the bed in his cat scratching post.
He has his cat carrier in the room, available for him to get in and sleep in there, and he actually likes to use it as a bed and goes there at night now, or during day time too.
Also, he doesn't seem to be mad at me or avoiding me at all. This morning I woke up at 5 am, realized he wasn't there, and got him from the carrier into bed with me because I wanted to cuddle him. He started purring and sucking on my earlobe and kneading me (he's been doing that since I got him. Vet said it was baby behavior, remembering his mommy. I let him, I don't mind it. It's cute~), so he obviously likes to be in the bed with me.
This evening he slept on top of me during a nap, purring up a storm, licking me and cuddling a lot, and he usually loves to get cuddly any time.
So I don't understand why is it that he doesn't wanna go to bed at night with me anymore
He's always been super cuddly and loving with me, so I can't help but feel a little bit hurt that he'd rather sleep alone...
Google search told me that he might be more independent now and sleeping on his own "to prove" he's a big boy now and doesn't need me as much anymore since he already feels safe and secure at home. If that's so, will it always be like this?
It sounds like a good thing, if that's so, but... I miss him at night.
I'd appreciate some insight, please
