Why is my aggressive cat suddenly affectionate and meowing more?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 7 months old

Lucy used to be aggresive and wouldn't let anyone touch her except my dad and whenever I wanted to pet her she would bite me or run away.but since 3 days ago she is suddenly so kind and cute and when I sit she herself comes to me and let me touch her without me saying anything.and she walks around the house mewing all the time but not like she's in pain or in heat.like she wants to say something.and she is not in heat.maybe a little slimmer.is it normal?

Hello, and thank you for your question. Does Lucy seem like she is stressed and asking you for something, such as more food or water, or wanting you to clean her litter box? If she seems like she is losing weight, it may be worth taking her to the vet to check for a medical problem. If she is not losing weight, then I would just check for anything that she may be missing in her environment, and keep an eye on her for a few more days. Monitor her food intake closely, and take her to the vet if her appetite is low or she is losing weight, or any vomiting or diarrhea occurs. I hope this helps, and that Lucy is feeling well!
