What? I'm on patrol.
Do you think she's becoming senile? Or perhaps she needs an entertaining feline friend or two? Then again, did the huge hairball I cleaned up a few minutes ago cause her strange actions?

Feline Senility, Boredom, or Something Else?
Of late I've discovered our aged kitty Jezebel displaying new and strange behaviors. We can't help but worry a bit that she is fading despite her apparent physical health. For example, Tilly used to sit in the shower stall before her passing in September of 2019. And why Jezzy kept returning to sit on our top cellar stair this afternoon is a mystery.

It's an interesting spot, to be sure. Hopefully it's just a quirk.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Delete~fingers crossed~
She's trying to tell you that something down here needs your attention.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'll keep that in mind. She hasn't done it today.
DeleteCould there be a mouse in the house?
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to say that doesn't seem to be the case. :)
DeleteHmmmm. EVen the ferals here start to act differently before they pass, often seeking out heat sources or openly trying to be closer to me, or other cats with whom they are good friends.
ReplyDeleteIt's a thing, isn't it? Thanks for weighing in. ~hugs~ I'm making sure to spend time with her whenever she wants, about all we can do. And she still seems fine, at least for now.
DeleteNo, I think she's really on patrol. Cute shot of her.
ReplyDeleteI linked this post to Feline Friday.
Have a fabulous weekend. Scritches to Jezebel. Hugs. ♥
~hugs~
DeleteIt's possible there is a critter down there that she can hear or sense. Not a big threat to you, just a mouse or something, but enough to rouse her curiosity.
ReplyDeleteThat definitely makes sense. :)
DeleteHopefully it's nothing to worry about. For an older lady cat I pretty much just sleep, eat and poop, but now and then- and just yesterday morning, in fact- I get this weird burst of what dad calls insanity (he'd know) and run back and forth behind the living room drapes, then run out and stop and stare up at who the hell knows what on the ceiling. Mom and dad look up where I'm staring but don't see whatever the hell it is that I see.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, sweet Cleo. Jezebel does this more once a week. I call it being a monkey. :) And all us humans have a touch of insanity. Trust me, *I* know. Heh...
