why is my cat being so affectionate all of the sudden?
my cat is an indoor outdoor cat. He has always been affectionate when indoors but runs outside whenever he gets the chance. we moved to a new house about 4 months ago. after one month in our dog died. We adopted a female cat that the former owners seem to have left here (i live on an island) but that cat is mostly outdoors as well. those cats didn't get along at first but now they do. They've gotten along for many weeks at this point but still both mainly stayed outside.
we had a rat at one point and baned them both from the house when we broke down to use poison. the poison has since worked the rat is gone. so the house is open to both of them again... however they still both spent most of their time outside and would sometimes be gone for days at a time. then suddenly on monday Malice (the male) started constantly being in the house. following us around begging, constantly being right next to us. not even letting us go to the bathroom in peace. he's always been a vocal cat but i'm worried about his sudden attachment. if i close a door to him he yowls till i let him in and insists on sitting right next to me for whatever i'm doing. anyone have ne ideas why?
he's not a year old yet, and he hasn't been leaving the house since monday. when i sit on the couch he sits next to me. when i go into the kitchen no matter how hard i try to be quiet, he's there. bathroom same thing, hanging my laundry out to dry? same thing. he's not going anywhere for me to follow him...
he nibbles, he doesn't attack like that. and even still he hasn't been doing that either recently... just clingy

If the cat nibbles, he wants you to feed him. If you see food in his bowl and he still nibbles and follows you around. Throw the food in his bowl and give him fresh food and water. Cats don't like to eat food that has been kept for long. Change the food atleast four times a day, and twice the water. If your cat is purring and licking you, then he wants to be brushed. Brush your cat and he will calm down. One more thing that cat might wants from you if he is showing too much affection is to play. Cats like strings, your tie or your belt can do the trick. Also you can take a small piece of paper, maybe some old receipt, roll it around, while rolling make sure the cat hear the noise and sees the paper. Once your cat is engrossed, throw it to the other corner of the room and watch him running behind it, rolling and maybe also getting the paper ball back to throw again. It is really amazing if the cat is getting affectionate to you, nothing yo worry about. Cheers!
