I recently (about a month ago) got a new cat. I've had cats my whole life, but this is my first since I've been living on my own. I adopted her from a foster mother, where she lived with a single person and other animals (before that she was a stray). She's about a year old by best guess, and had a litter of kittens when they found her. She is spayed, has all her shots, and tested negative for everything. She is a very sweet kitty, and I love her to bits... but recently, I got a new roommate (the cat had been alone with me up till that point), and her behavior has changed. She is almost constantly hyperactive and jumpy (it's not that she didn't play before, but now she's wired 24/7), and she has taken to bouts of suddenly trying to destroy my feet (not like playing, hardcore grabbing/kicking/chewing. It's painful). None of this behavior started until the roommate moved in. Is this a coincidence, or could it have something to do with that? Suggestions?
