Why does my cat suddenly become so clingy?

When a cat suddenly becomes very clingy, it could be due to several reasons: anxiety or stress, lack of attention/loneliness, pregnancy, or the onset of labor.

1. Anxiety or stress

When cats feel anxious or stressed, they may also show dependence and clingy behavior towards humans. This situation is usually related to factors such as environmental changes, lack of interest and activity. You can gradually adjust the cat's living environment, provide a safe, comfortable and vibrant living space, and appropriately increase the interaction and play time with it.

2. Lack of attention/loneliness

Cats are social animals that also need the attention and companionship of their owners. If the owner often neglects to take care of and care for the cat, the cat may show more clingy behavior in order to seek attention and comfort.

3. Pregnancy or entering the delivery period

When a female cat is pregnant or entering the delivery period, she will show more dependence and affectionate behavior to seek support and protection from her owner.

How to calm your cat

1. The owner can comfort the cat

When a cat is in a bad mood, the best way is to stay by its side and comfort it. If possible, the owner can try to relax it and see if the cat resists or has any other behavior. If not, that is the best.

2. The owner can let the cat be quiet first

When a cat is unhappy, it also needs a private space to stay alone quietly. When the cat is alone, do not disturb it and let it be quiet as much as possible.

3. The owner can also divert the cat's attention

If your cat is in a bad mood, you can use its favorite toys to divert its attention, which can make it happy.
