Is your cat treating you strangely?

My cat is treating me differently...She won't sit on me, she's scratched me a couple of times, and she won't even sleep at my end of the bed anymore...Just my husband's. Am I being paranoid, or is this happening to anyone else too?
She used to LOVE to sleep on my clothes, and now she sniffs them and swats at them, and then runs away....?

Re: Is your cat treating you strangely?
I'm not really around my cats very much but my dog has been VERY clingy lately. She HAS to sleep in my bed right next to me, causing me to get no sleep. To top it off, really early in the morning she'll wake up and seems to be torn between leaving the room and staying in there with me. She will paw at me, and nudge me with her nose...and basically just never leave me alone!!! Don't get me wrong, I love her and apparently she loves me a little too much! lol. I guess she knows theres a baby on the way
Actually, my male cat has been more affectionate than ever. Normally he's pretty stand-offish but he likes to cuddle between my legs and put his head on my thigh or tummy. The female cats are still attention whores, but they've always been that way.
What are you paranoid about?
My cats take turns being the one who has to lie on me. Last week, the girl kitty growled at my uterus and then bolted into the kitchen. Today she laid on it and purred while Bunny kicked her.
Animals are weird. Also - you smell funny now.
She's probably paranoid about if the cat got poop on his fur somewhere and then she touched it and... yadda yadda.
I was paranoid about that too until I realized that I'm such a hands-washing freak, my risk is pretty low!
I'm tossing and turning so much my poor cats can't sleep next to me anymore. But otherwise, they used to love to climb all over me and lay on me and purr. They will only rarely do that now, and definitely act like I smell differently. Today my littlest one laid with her front paws and chest on my belly and purred so loud that the baby was kicking her. She just purred and stayed. I knwo she had to have felt it, it was really hard kicks! It was so weird!
