Hello, I am sorry for your concerns about Gulabo's behavior. If she is eating /drinking normally, having normal eliminations, & playful during her wake periods, then what you describe may just be her personality. It is very difficult to say if this is her way of life, or if there may be something to worry about. If you are at all concerned, it is always best to have a hands on exam done by your veterinarian. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I hope all is well with her. Take care.
