I dont understand my cat

Question
Hi,

My cat's behaviour has changed recently.
She is cute lovable but not really friendly, doesn't like to be touched, moody, never comes to you when you call her, rarely plays.

that is her usual habit

However, she has changed recently; became friendly, meowing in a strange way as if she is calling me, she will meow then walk to my room while making sure that I'm following her, then she will just lie on the carpet as if asking me to pat her, then I pat her.

I'm wondering what is the reason for this change in her behaviour? I'm really worried about her.

here is some information about her

age: 18 months
Breed: Norwegian
not yet spayed,
nothing changed at home
She is the only pet we have

by the way; this behaviour change happened few months back and lasted for about weeks.

Please let me know about this behaviour change.

Many thanks,
dr.Fayza Al-Ali


Answer
Fayza,

The behavior is a result of her coming into season.  Cats come into season at unspecific intervals and it will last a couple of weeks or become almost constant!  I would get her spayed as soon as reasonable and all her behaviors should become more gentle.
