    Strange behavior (autism?)
    Hi,

    I have a female young cat (just became one year old). I got her from the asiel when she was about 7 mounts old. She came from a family with another animal and they had to give her away because the two animals couldn't get along.

    She adapted quite quickly. She was in the beginning extremely dependent and had to be physically close to you (like 1 meter distance). If you would go to the next room she would start miaowing.

    Within time, I noticed more and more strange behavior in her. She maws a lot (for attention, if she cannot jump somewhere) and makes always noise when she jumps or runs. After she uses her "toilet" instead of moving the stones she scratches the floor next to her "toilet". If she cannot go outside she will maw constantly, repeatedly. If she goes too often outside, she becomes more wild and naughty. Outside she attacks young birds but never kills them. She rather leave them behind (suffering) and goes straight back home.She's also very much afraid of other cats. She is still very playful.


    I notice also that if my morning routine changes, she becomes crazy and runs everywhere like some maniac.

    I wounder if she suffers some kind of autistic behavior in the feline version. I don't think her behavior is quite normal.:confused:

    Sounds like a normal cat to me.

    Cats are very strange creatures.

    The behaviors you describe, I have seen in most, if not all the cats I have ever had.
