Sometimes cats can be too intrusive.

Any cat can at some point suddenly start to “chase” its owner.

This phenomenon cannot be ignored. A person must find out why his pet suddenly forgot about his love for solitude.

Why does your four-legged friend never leave your side? There are several possible explanations.

Health problems have arisen

Excessive “obsession” on the part of a cat can be explained by the appearance of one or another illness in the animal.

In other words, it is possible that the pet is simply sick and wants to “tell” its owner about it.

If your cat's desire to follow you around is accompanied by some suspicious signs (lack of appetite, loud meowing, etc.)? Then take your pet to the veterinary clinic!

Fluffy has become elderly

Young cats need independence.

But older cats begin to demonstrate calmness and affection for their owners.

Has your elderly cat been following you around lately, but no serious health problems have been detected? Then don't worry, but don't forget about the importance of further preventive examinations. And pay more attention to your four-legged friend.

The pet is lonely

By the way, regarding attention... Even a young furry friend can face a lack of it.

Be aware: your pet may start stalking you because you rarely “communicate” with it.

Play with your cat more often, pet him, etc. Strengthen your bond with your four-legged friend, and then the “harassment” from his side will stop.

The cat found itself in a stressful situation

Perhaps the animal was recently frightened of someone or something (guests, a loud sound, etc.)

Or maybe the cat is really worried about the move.

In such situations, any cat would want to be close to its owner - a source of peace and protection.

For reference

A cat is a domestic animal, one of the most popular (along with a dog) “companion animals”.
