Curmudgeon Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 One of my cats appears to have been traumatized in some way. I know he was involved in a bad fight a couple of weeks ago. Now he is very clingy, very restless and seems nervous. I now have to lock him up in order to get some sleep at night. I'm not a cat expert. My other two cats seem fine, but his behavior has certainly changed. Any suggestions? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEWMtnMama Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 I've been thinking about this, and I'd take the cat to the Vet for a general wellness checkup. A drastic change in behavior is often a sign of something amiss but I have no suggestions as to what it might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexy Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 Well, locking him up won't help him when he;s obviously upset and gotten clingy. He's clingly because he's upset about something and needs some soothing. Can you give him some extra attention? Can he sleep with you instead of being "locked up" somewhere? Can you ask a vet for a mild tranquillizer? Poor guy. . . Lexy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's either grooming me or wanting to go outside, then back in again, repeatedly. I probably should have mentioned that he's an indoor/outdoor cat. He normally stays indoors at night. I lock him up in my laundry room, where there is a litter box, food and water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
