Why is my cat suddenly avoiding touch, meowing, and running away?

Sudden strange behavior changes can sometimes indicate underlying pain or illness, so it is a good idea to schedule a checkup with your vet to rule out any health issues. If your cat is not spayed and is also leaving the house, it could be that she is in heat or is pregnant, which is why she is trying to separate from her old litter (I assume this is what you mean by her kids) to make ready for a new one. Having her spayed and keeping her indoors may help if this is the case, as well as making sure all the cats have their own access to food, water, litter, bedding, etc.

A sudden change in behavior from the normal can be a sign of illness in a cat. Given that Ava is acting very differently from the way she was before, I'd take her into a vet today for a health check. Best of luck.

Since she was gone for so long, an examine with your veterinarian would be recommended. This may diagnose any underlying injury or infection. Frequently, either can be responsible for a sudden change in behavior. In the meantime, give her space and time to reacclimate to you. Don't force her to be held or pet. Offer treats and praise when she comes close. A pheromone product, such as Feliway Spray or plug in diffuser, may help to decrease any anxiety.

It is possible something startled Meesho. Moving him to a calm, quiet room with food, water, litter, etc may help him to relax. If he seems in a lot of distress, is trying to go potty and can't, or has signs of illness (vomiting, pain, not eating, etc) this could indicate he is very ill and should be seen by a vet right away.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Kitty Mucher. If she spends time outdoors, then I worry that she sustained an injury. Cat bite wounds are common and could explain her abrupt change in behavior. If she is not acting normal by the time you return home today, then she will need to see her veterinarian. If she does have a wound (and they can be hard to find), she will require treatment. I hope this information helps!

It may be her personality. Some cats are more solitary than others. If she had rpeviously been more social, have her examined by your veterinarian to diagnose illness or injury. Either can cause sudden behavioral changes. Monitor for signs of bulllying or aggression by the other cats as well.

Cats can unfortunately be fickle and change up where they sleep, but this can also be a sign of an illness. Given that you say this is extremely out of character for Fluffy, I would have her seen by a vet tomorrow for a health check. The vet can diagnose if she is suffering from an illness causing her change in behavior, and can discuss treatment options with you.
