Up until 3 weeks after her adoption, my little tortoiseshell kitten was extremely playful, affectionate, and pleasant. A few weeks ago, I noticed a somewhat drastic change in her behavior; she remained active but played less around and with me and more independently, away from me, she now crouches in what almost seems like fear OR scampers off every time I approach, and she never, ever sleeps next to me anymore (she used to even sleep right against my neck) and instead curls up next to my roommate Blake, who makes no real attempt at taking care of her. It's as if she's becoming more drawn to less affection - why on earth would she avoid the one who's shown her love since the day I adopted her? To me, it almost seems as though I've hurt her in some way, which I never have, neither physically nor emotionally. What do you think is happening, and how can I get back the kitten I brought home?
