My cat is the textbook example of the "I'm queen of this house" mindset.
She only likes to be petted when she asks to be by plopping down in front of
me with her belly and paws up in the air or when she cozies up to me to
sleep.  She only meows at me when she wants food or spots an intruder
(namely, any sort of bug) or when I'm asleep and she feels it's time for me
to get up.  She purrs a lot when she's getting her needed attention, but
she's not really much of a meowing cat.  On average, I'd say she only meows
early in the morning when it's time for me to get up and feed her, and
that's only if I don't hear her knocking her food bowl around.  So, can
someone please tell me why she might be feeling the need to meow 24/7 now?
It's been going on for a couple weeks now and I just don't understand it!
She meows at me, so I go to pet her and she's one of those cats who really
doesn't like to be bothered unless she has given the "all clear" sign.  So,
when I get there, assuming she wants some attention, she goes into "attack"
mode and freaks out and runs away.  She stands on the table (which I gave up
breaking her of long ago) and meows at the wall like she does when she sees
a bug, but there's no bug there when I go look.  She sits on the bed and
just meows at me.  Could it be a sign that something is wrong?  I noticed on
Friday evening when I was petting her that there was some sort of bump on
her neck.  It felt small, like a mole, but she got up and left when I tried
to examine it further.  So, for the rest of the weekend I tried to see it.
I eventually got her to lay still for me and discovered three or four little
spots on her skin on her neck that look either to be scabs or moles of some
kind.  I didn't mess with them much because I couldn't tell what they were,
but if they are moles they seem to be more of the "skin tag" variety that
sort of hang off a little bit.  She doesn't seem to have any idea that
they're there.  I've never seen her scratch at them or do anything with
them.  None the less, I'm calling the vet when the office opens this morning
and hopefully I can take her in today since I have the day off work.  But,
could something like that cause the change in behavior?  Any thoughts on
what those things on her neck might be?  If it helps any, she's a short hair
domestic tortoise shell and she's about 3 years old and she is spayed.
Sorry for the long post, but I don't understand all the meowing! As I type
this, she's sitting in the window sill looking at me and meowing non-stop.
Other than the constant meowing, which is completely new, she seems to be
her normal self.
