My dog Indigo usually sleeps curled at the end of the bed, but lately she’s been spooning and cuddling with me all the time. I’m curious about why this change is happening. She’s healthy, so it’s not a bad thing, but I wonder if it’s related to her getting older.
Has there been any recent changes in your life, like stress?
No, just back to school after summer. Maybe she’s clingy because I’m gone all day?
Could you be pregnant? My cat acted differently during my pregnancy.
Older dogs might seek comfort if they’re unwell or developing dementia. A vet visit could help.
My cat never cuddled until she was around 8. Sometimes pets just decide to be more affectionate as they age.
