They’re acting weird again.
As a mother of any species can tell you, you know when something’s a little off with your children. And despite the fact that my brats are never really what I’d call “all there,” they’re acting weirder than usual. I don’t know if it’s the fact that they had their parents home for a whole 5 days or the weather or if they’re just feeling their age as a result of their recent birthdays, but even the boyfriend’s noticed. It’s not anything I can put my finger on. Just some weird crap here and there.
Moosh will stop in a part of the room he usually won’t (yeah, I notice this crap) and stare at me. Usually he just waits by his food bowl and stares. He’s also being really needy. Following us around and looking at us pitifully for attention.
He’s ridiculously cute when he curls his lil pawsies!
Taco can’t sit still. He’s in my face 24/7, and when he’s not, he’s in weird places, like my closet (this is Moosh’s usual haunt) and in Moosh’s basket (also, as you might have gathered by the title of the resting place, Moosh’s). Taco’s also started kneading me when he lays on me in bed. Yes, I know this is a NORMAL cat activity, but he’s never really been much of a kneader (Jackson Galaxy calls this “smurgling” but never explained if that’s some sort of scientific term — it seems like an odd choice for a serious scientist to choose, but whatever) and he does it ON me. I’m fairly certain that my skin isn’t as rewarding to smurgle on as, say, a cushy blanket. I don’t mind it so much. It’s more like a change-up pitch in baseball. Throwin’ a fast ball at me forever and now you’re going to throw a slider? You know what? That’s a horrible analogy. I’m assuming you get the point.
Never in the existence of this pillow has he ever paid it any mind, yet last night he decided it was the best place to sleep EVER.
I don’t know what this all means, but it throws me off. And I hate change.
MEOW hear this! 
Are they both eating/drinking normally? Normal litterbox usage? Weren’t they at the vet recently? Did you have bloodwork done? Did they have oral exams done? Just thinking through things to look for…. fingers crossed that they are just growing into even bigger lover kitties!
Hahahaha yes to everything. That’s the problem! They’re not doing anything CONCERNING. Just uncharacteristic. I think they’re just effing with us.
My vote? Totally just effing with you. Gotta love that kind of randomness. 😉
Keeps it interesting, I suppose.
If by interesting you mean stressful and mildly panic-inducing, then, yeah. interesting. 🙂
Hit it right on the head!
They do tend to pick up new ticks once in a while, so maybe they just get bored and like to try something new? Or maybe there’s a poltergeist moved in and they see stuff we don’t see? Nah, it’s probably the first thing. I do get weirded out though when I catch one of them staring into a empty corner, so call me crazy but they do say they have senses we don’t.
Hahahaha I always assume where they stare at something that I can’t see that it’s a bug. The teeniest of gnats, they’re on it.
You got a good point there! No need to let my imagination run amuck, that’s what the darks for. 😀
