We have two gorgeous cats who are 2 in July. Both are very affectionate with me and with DSD when she is here (not so much with DP who can take them or leave them!) and will jump on my lap for cuddles all the time, which is lovely.
However, one of them is becoming excessively clingy. She follows me round the house asking for cuddles. If I'm standing next to a table or chair, she jumps up and pushes her head into my hand or arm. She always comes into the bathroom with me unless I shut the door and tries to jump on my lap while I'm on the loo! Also, in the morning she sits outside our bedroom door meowing over and over again until I come out. She meows and begins purring loudly as soon as she sees me and during all the interactions described above.
Just wondering if this is normal? I have had cats since I was a child and none of them have behaved like this. I read something about purring being a sign of stress and am now worried that my lovely girl is stressing herself out somehow. Thoughts please?
