Cat won't leave me alone

My cat Percy is almost 5. He's always liked his cuddles and getting his ears scratched but hes still been independent going outside and curling up under my bed etc. Today and yesterday he's stayed by me, if I sit or lie down he will sit over my belly and chest. He does nudge me to scratch his ears which i do. Hes never alone hardly as I'm a stay at home mum and I have another cat and there's food in his bowl. Could there any reason hes a bit more clingy? He's following me everywhere which he's never done before.

Before anyone else asks ...... could you be pregnant? ?!!!

thecatneuterer · 25/02/2019 19:10

Yep. Congratulations on your pregnancy :)

gamerchick · 25/02/2019 19:13

Must admit I thought pregnant. Or maybe there's some other changes going on in your body's.

Mine just wants strokes when I'm having a pee from me. It's like having toddlers again.

I opened this to say pregnant. Or maybe just running a temperature. One of my cats was glued to my side if I was ill (except when he popped out to catch a mouse for me, which he would bring to me in bed).

Are there any pictures of Percy? We must see pics! 😀 I wonder if he’s out of sorts over the unseasonable weather?

iwannabecat · 25/02/2019 19:20

Yup definitely pregnant 🤣
One of my male cats became a total sex pest within a week of me conceiving and didn't leave me alone for 9 months- it got to the point i took him to the vets and asked him to check that his neutering hadn't reversed itself!

ememem84 · 25/02/2019 19:27

Pregnant.

Catface did this when I was preggo with ds. In November she started not leaving me alone again. Dr appointment 7 December for something else entirely. Mentioned catface. Mentioned I’d been feeling odd. Peed on the stick. Dc2 due July.
Congrats!!

@ememem84
I wonder if it is a tabby thing - this is my little sex pest!

Another vote for preggie. My cats were the same when I was preggers

gubbsywubbsy · 25/02/2019 19:47

How exciting ?!

cakesandphotos · 25/02/2019 20:01

I’m definitely not pregnant (I hope!!) and my cat does this all the time. She’s constantly in my face, on my chest, on my legs. And she doesn’t take a hint

Toddlerteaplease · 25/02/2019 20:21

Cheddar does this all the time. Night and day. I am definitely not pregnant. She's just very needy!

gubbsywubbsy · 25/02/2019 20:47

I think OP is saying DCat has changed .. I have a needy cat but he has always been like this . Her cat has changed his behaviour .

ememem84 · 25/02/2019 21:21

My catface wasn’t needy at all initially. She hid behind a chair for 3 months. Then suddenly sat on my lap. The day before I found out I was pregnant with ds...

lyssie29 · 26/02/2019 06:53

Nope definitely not pregnant. When I was pregnant my cat didn't care one bit....

He's just gotten like this. He like his cuddles and strokes and sits on my lap but then after half an hour or so goes and finds a comfy spot on my bed or somewhere but lately is just following me everywhere. It's out of character for him.
