My cat has been acting very weird lately very cautioned about things and jumpy and going in weird places ?

Question

is this a sign of old age or if not wat is it

Answer 1

your cat is perfectly normal. something probably spooked him and he will approach it very cautiously until they find out what it is. any cat of any age will do the same thing. Its kinda funny when they get like that cuz if you scare them from behind they will jump straight up in the air like some 2 to 3 feet its hilarious to see them like that.

Answer 2

Is your cat a female because if so then she may be pregnant and fixing to have her kittens.

Or is she aloud to go out side because if so then she may have got frightened really bad and still hasn't got over it.

Or something may have gotten hold of her and she is hurt really bad.

Check her skin and see if she has any scabs or bumps on her and if she does then most likely that did happen.

Answer 3

Have you recently moved or renovated?  Have you changed anything around the house?  Have you recently had guests your cat didn't know?  Has there recently been a tragic event?  (burglary, fire, etc)  Are you (or your "better half") pregnant?  Have you recently brought home a baby or new pet?  There are many factors that can make your can't display those certain types of behavior.  Try Feliway, it works pretty good at calming your cat and making him/her feel more secure.  If nothing else, consult your vet.  

Answer 4

Something spooked your cat, recently.  It'll pass after a while.

Answer 5

Honestly if its a girl its  it might be pregnant and looking for a place to have babies. when my cat had babies, she had a litter in my sisters dresser, under my moms bed,  under my sisters bed, and behind teh couch in my room. so thats a possible reason or it may be that your cat is looking for a place to die. Its almsot very likly that its just scared of something.
