My cat is suddenly super clingy to my husband. Is he sick?

As with any sudden behavioral change, an exam to rule out any health issues is always the best first option. If the weather is changing rapidly and you are seeing her seek out warmer spots such as blankets, by heater vents, etc that could also be related to the behavior. Adding a warm blanket out of the dryer to her bed, or providing a place for her to sleep near a heater may help. However, if you are concerned enough about the change, a vet exam for a bit of peace of mind is always good.

A sudden change in behavior from the normal can be a sign of illness. Keep an eye on Texas for tonight, and if he's still acting this way in the morning, have him seen by a vet for a health check. Best of luck.

Hello, some cats can undergo different behaviors and may prefer different people at times. This is typically not associated with anything major. However, there are some diseases that may cause changes in attitude. This includes hyperthyroidism and rarely acromegaly. Other signs with these diseases include increased drinking and urinations, a ravenous appetite, and weight loss. This can be screened with routine bloodwork, so have him evaluated by your veterinarian for these. If normal, other causes could include a different fragrance from perfume, body lotion, or laundry detergent that you could be using. Hope this helps and best of luck.

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.

Sudden changes in behavior can indicate that Mulan does not feel good or that she is stressed. Monitor her VERY closely for any signs of illness. Monitor everything.

It is very normal for cats to adjust their behavior over time as they get used to things and people that once scared them, especially if your cat is exposed to it often over time through family or friends. However, if the behavioral change is sudden, you are concerned, or there any health symptoms showing up, a vet visit to rule out any issues is always best.

From what you are describing I sounds like you and Milo have a strong bond which is wonderful. Cats can vary greatly in their personalities and attachment levels, just like humans. if this behaviour isn’t new, I would not be concerned. If however, Milo is acting differently and you are concerned please post another question in the forum describing these new behaviours and I will help you further.
