Our female cat Tobi is driving me crazy today.

She's getting into things she ordinarily doesn't get into and just being obnoxious. She's tried to climb up on my head twice. She's knocked a figurine off a table and broken it. I just found her sitting in the kitchen sink.

She's got plenty to eat, fresh water, and a clean litter box. I don't know what the deal is.

She might have something medically wrong, possibly a UTI. Over the decades, I have had several cats behave like that. They even strained a little urine with blood in the sink so we would see. In one case, there was a blockage.

Or she could just be acting out.

She's not acting like anything is hurting her. She's just being a brat.

I don't blame him as I held him all the time he was a kitten. He's two and still thinks I am the greatest thing ever. I hope he never grows out of that.

...and it appears that today she wants things the way they used to be before I came along.

A tree to climb? Do you play with her enough? She might just be bored. Cats need stimulation.
