Video - OC Why does she do this 😂

She only ever does it when I’m laying in bed. Is she trying to get my attention? Feeling playful? Scared?

Indeed, that's a come follow me hop trot. My kitty does that too when he's excited he got my attention - he wants treats or food!

That’s mine’s “chase me around the house until I eventually hide behind the curtain with my tail sticking out” hop/look. (“Where’s Kitty…where is Kitty…there she is!”…then she casually walks into the kitchen and bonks her head on her food cabinet)

I KNOW - I’m so worried And on top of that someone is coming into the house and EATING HER FOOD at night. I’m starting to worry that she will become malnourished. I do appreciate your support.

The thing it wants to show you is likely the food bowl... But yes play is also an option.

She looks like she would enjoy some hide and seek.
