Is it normal for my cat to sleep in the bend of my legs at night?

Yes, cats love to curl up on people or touching them especially when it’s cold. My male cat is very vocal and he talks when he wants something so that is probably what going on with yours. If you open the window when she talks she may have learned to meow when she wants more air. Sounds like a smart cat to me!

Yes, this is also common behavior. One of my cats sleeps nestled in the crook of my neck at night, another likes sleeping on my hip or chest at night. Cats like it warm, so sleeping on your body is like a heating blanket for them, and at the same time they feel secure.

That sounds like normal cat behavior. She is very comfortable with you and loves you. If you can't have her bothering you, like when you are practicing piano, it is best to put her in another room until you are done. I don't think there is anything wrong with her as long as she is eating, drinking, peeing and pooping normally.

Yes, it can be normal. As long as she is having no problems walking, jumping, etc I would not worry about it. If she is having issues then you need to take her to the vet for an exam and x-rays of the hips/hind legs. Hope this helps. Best wishes!

There are a few follow up questions regarding Kiara. Is this new or has she always had this going on? If this is new then it can be trauma related or even a clot. If this has always been going on then it may be congenital. Ideally, she would see a veterinarian for a full physical examination. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Cats sometimes display very unusual behaviour and possibly can choose quite awkward spots for sleeping with no apparent reasons (usually the temperature of the place where they sleep can be a major factor). Nothing strange with it then and I would not be extremely worried about it.

Changes in gait and posture can indicate an orthopedic problem (for example, back pain or leg pain). It can also be a sign of abdominal pain or illness. Or, it could be normal. Monitor Silver closely for anything else out of the ordinary. The best way to determine the cause would be to have your veterinarian do a full physical exam.
