So if you read my other post from today, you know I just got back from 3
weeks in Italy.  While I was gone, a friend of mine did the necessary cat
sitting.  Butterscotch knows this friend and she's cat sat when I've been
gone for a weekend on several occasions. She stayed most every night and
said that while Butterscotch seemed confused after the first few days, which
is the most she's ever spent with her, and just sat there looking at her
(which is sorta weird for her to do) for a couple days, she was otherwise
fine.  Butter is usually very cuddly with people she knows and apparently
after she adjusted and stopped staring at my friend, she became her normally
cuddly self. which usually just involves sitting beside you.  Now, when I
got back last night my cat was just all over me.  I came in after being up
for almost 22 hours straight and pretty much crashed on the couch for a bit
and she was purring and meowing and pawing at me and I couldn't pet  her
enough!  But then this morning she was sleeping by me, as usual, and was
pawing at my nose to wake me, which she hasn't done since she was a kitten.
So I got up and she started her strange tantrum that has now been going on
all day.  I got up and she hopped up on her hind legs to paw at my leg and I
patted her on the head, turned to walk away and she bit my leg! Now, she's
been known to get too rough when playing and bite at me but she actually
left a bruise and puncture marks on my leg!  Then she was fine and a few
hours later she flopped over on her back and put her little paws on her face
like she always does when she wants to be played with.  So I was rubbing her
belly and her head and she was licking my hand and next thing I know...two
more puncture marks.  She's been away from me for no more than 4 days before
this and she's always overly attentive when I get back but she's never bit
me that hard! Previously I have posted about the biting thing when she got
too worked up playing and someone suggested hissing/meowing like I was in
pain and that stopped that habit.  But even then she's never actually left
puncture marks or drawn blood.  Please tell me I haven't scarred her for
life and that this spastic behavior is temporary :(
