Hi Phillip, it looks to me like you somehow got a strange scent that she doesn’t recognize and doesn’t like. Her behavior of urinating is typical or marking territory. Did you have any contact with another animal or anything like that? If this behavior doesn’t change over time I suggest you take her to the Vet to discard possible health issues.

I have had my cat Jobu for almost 2 years now. Randomly yesterday she is frightened of me, hisses, tries to attack me, urinates on the floor when I come home. She only calms down when I lay down. Nothing in her routine has changed. Should I be concerned?

Hi Crystal, there are several aspects on what you are describing. First, I would like to know if you got that kitten by separating her from her siblings or if your cat is a rescued. Being separated suddenly from her sibling could cause this separation anxiety. Also, for what you tell me, your cat needs to adapt to her new envinroment, she doesn’t trust you fully yet, but she is trying (sitting on your chair is a sign of that). You need to provide moments of play with her, making her trust you, slowly. Feed her treats too, that way she associates you with something really tasty. When kittens run and move their butts like that is a sign of playing, but also is a sign of testing the waters with the new human, she is testing you that way. She seems to have a dominaning personality and that’s not bad. You just need to learn how to interact with your kitten. Don’t force her, just start step by step showing her how much you care through games and treats. Just ignore the unwanted behavior so she will know it doesn’t work. And like I alwyas say, take her to the Vet to discard health issues. Hope that helps!

She’s 3 months old and such a cute baby. I thought she liked me, but sometimes when I reach out for her her to come to me, she runs away and/or looks at me with fear in her eyes, wags her butt back and forth, and runs toward me with a boost of speed. She won’t eat unless fed one kibble at a time, and she won’t eat from my hand either. She climbs to the top of my chair and seems comfortable, but when I look at her she makes a “mwrrrr” sound and runs away/jumps on to my bed. She also lays on my table, and she seems comfortable there. Why?

Hi Elvir, that has happened to me too with my cat. I accidentally hit her with a ball while playing and she got afraid of me. Just give Leo time to get over it. Cats have extremely high survival instincts and anything that takes them by surprise, they don’t like it, especially hitting their bodies with something. Just make sure not to play with Leo with a ball again for a while until he overcomes his fear. Try not to be pushy with him, give him space and act normal like you always do, he will come to you when he feels ready.
