Anyone's pet acting different?
My cat is not affectionate- maybe after he's just woken up from a nap, but that's it.
He's still not affectionate, but he's been laying next to me on the couch more and walking across me on the couch. When he walks across me, it almost seems like he's purposely stepping on my belly!
Anyone else notice different/strange/cute behavior patterns in their animals?

Re: Anyone's pet acting different?
My non-affectionate cat has become very affectionate. He now sleeps next to me, hopes up on my lap, purrs, and won't let me out of his site.
My other cat, no change. Still an attention whore.
When my friend was pregnant and she has 2 cats both female, they wouldnt even come near here they were loving needy cats before the pregnancy. Her baby is a year old and the cats love the baby.
My sister in law had a persian when she was station at Fort Lewis and they had to get rid of it when she was 4 or 5 months pregnant it was a male. When ever she was in the same room as him he would randomly start attacking her she was covered head to toe in scratches.
My dog started marking recently I noticed. He has done that since we had him fixed in 07.
I should add my dog is just as bad. Sometimes worse. She sits next to the tub while I shower and waits for me, whines if I try to close the door to pee, etc.
However our other cat (the non-clingy one) couldn't care less.
My other male doxie that I had use to do that and then one day I turned around and he had jumped in the shower while I was washing my hair freaked the heck out me cause I didn't even hear him do it.
My dog has always been a clinger. He has to sit on my lap when we are on the couch etc. I haven't seen any change in that aspect.
But he has been really sniffing my boobs lately, even tries to lick them! I'm wondering if it's lactation or the hormone changes are giving off an odor??
My mini daschund has always been clingy but now hes not only clingy but very very protective! If dh even tries to move him to sit near me our dog will growl and snap.
Me too. I think my cat, Kashka, knew before I did. She would absolutely insist on sitting on my belly and would not get off of me for hours. Once, she literally pushed my laptop out of her way LOL
When I found out I was pregnant I realized that I think Kashka already knew
my cat has become a complete weirdo. So weird that i finally took him to the vet thinking he was sick or going insane or something. When i told the Vet that i was pregnant she immediately told me that that was why. Seriously, he has become more needy then any other cat i have ever had. He HAS to be held or pet whenever we're home, otherwise he does not stop meowing. He also started PEEING outside of the litter box. first on our bed, then all over the living room. he's neutered so he doesnt exactly spray, just digs on the carpet like its litter and pops a squat. he knocks over his food and water and makes a mess every single day. he's just a butthead. the vet says he can sense the change in me and that he needs extra love but its soo hard when he's being so difficult.
its honestly becoming a very big problem. we've had him for a year and love him to death but he's so needy now. he's gotten used to not sleeping in our room at night, or being allowed on the bed since he peed on it. there are so many stories of cats that smother infants while theyre asleep that we've had to train him not to sleep near us, which is probably part of his problem. but he likes to lay down on our faces so we're not taking any chances.
i'm so glad i dont have the only psycho cat around!
My dog alternates between wanting to be by me a lot, and being a stubborn mule and not listening well the rest of the time.
