My cat is always in one spot. Is she sick or hunting a mouse?

My cat has been sitting on one spot the whole day. She has moved but always went back to the same spot. There might be a mouse she’s trying to track but could there be anything else? Should I do anything?

If only Milsu could talk! It's possible she is waiting for the mouse. It's also possible she is not feeling well. Watch her for any symptoms of illness like not eating well, not drinking well, vomiting, diarrhea, respiratory signs of changes in her urination or bowel movements. Have her examined if you see any signs of illness. I hope this helps.
