Why's my cat being a weirdo?

I posted in the Litter Tray but had no hits.

When we first got her and her brother, she was very vocal, very needy, was really into our food akin of a dog. She would also eat things that aren't food.
She seemed to chill out a bit after a while.

She is 13 months old, so still young-ish.

And she has started all the behaviours again.
Following us around and meowing really loudly. Pestering us for any food we have. Eating things that aren't food.
Her food hasn't changed and she has as much as she likes.

My husband is worried something is wrong.
I think she's just being a weirdo Bengal and she is fine.

She is spayed, she is an outdoors cat, the only disruptive thing that has occurred in the last week is that her brothers eye was removed, and they had a bit of a scrap a couple of days ago.

GREAT photo! Grin

agree she's probably being a weirdo but as he's concerned, a check up won't hurt.

Also possible she's not getting enough nutrients so staying hungry if she's on a bog standard cst food- try one with a higher meat content or let her free feed kibble.

Probably just enjoys the attention though :)

Is she bored? Are you having regular play sessions with her, Bengals need a lot of stimulation. Try teaching her some tricks or getting her treat puzzles to keep her occupied.

We have lots of toys.

I did wonder if she was bored because her brother has been quiet due to the surgery.

Perhaps that's all it is.
