If you have a cat you probably think that:
1. I'm a mean, cranky woman to say that about my cuddly-uddly-ums kitty-snookums
or
2. Insane cat is redundant.
Normally cats have a quirky sort of craziness but our oldest cat/alpha cat, Zelda, has begun acting strangely. Zelda is not a people cat. She usually likes to keep her distance from people but a few weeks ago she decided that she and I should be together. Always.
Her very favorite form of togetherness (outside of naptime) is sharing my computer chair. This leaves me sitting on the edge of the chair or, even worse, having her in my lap until my legs go numb. She isn't a large cat but she is a very dense cat and is perfectly designed for cutting off blood circulation.
If I put her on the floor she tries to get back up again. If I don't let her, she goes around the room knocking things over or will find something to paw at. Repetitive annoying noises are her specialty.
She also hunts me down follows me from room to room. If it were one of our more people-friendly cats, this wouldn't be so weird but since it's Zelda, it's eerie.
Did you change your perfume lately? Detergent? Maybe you just smell like some yummy mouse treat?
