I'm sure the initial question sounds like more of a good thing than a bad thing, but I'm a bit concerned about it.
My cat was a stray that we picked up about 2 to 3 months ago. Over that time, she warmed up to my family and I and would act like any normal house cat until she had her kittens (I should probably mention she was pregnant when we found her, though at the time we had no idea). Well, her entire litter ended up dying (long story short, our cat gave birth in a space that was much too cramped for her and 5 kittens) and she went through a mourning phase. Now that that has passed (or at least seemed to pass), she's become much more affectionate. She constantly tries to nuzzle her head into my hand so I'll pet her, she's not only willing to stand on my bed but will even sleep on it now (when before she'd jump off the second she was put on there), and will constantly jump up on my computer desk and go to sleep right in front of me/next to me.
Like I said, I understand that this is most likely something I shouldn't be concerned about it, but it just seems too weird. She went from being a somewhat-independent cat to an attention-hog. Does anyone have any idea why?
