So my cat, Niblet, has been acting super weird the past few days — hiding in the laundry basket, staring at walls like she owes them money, and suddenly refusing her favorite treats. I’m stuck trying to figure out if she’s stressed, sick, or just being her usual chaotic goblin self. I don’t wanna overreact, but I also don’t wanna miss something serious. Has anyone dealt with sudden behavior switches like this? Any signs I should watch for before hauling her to the vet? I’d love any advice.

Cats are tricky as most cat owners know. Staring off into the void can be silly cat nonsense or it could be neurological potential. It is easy to think the worst but it really takes a whole wide picture to pinpoint what might be going on.

Is Niblet going to the bathroom as usual? Any accidents? Are they eating their normal amount besides treats?
