I had a cockatiel which behaved like that. I'd be walking around the house with this bird sitting on my head!Believe it or not my bird Kerby is very clingy. As soon as he hears me in the morning he starts squawking. He sits on my shoulder the entire day and has a fit when I put him in our sitting room while I cook or go outside. He doesn't bid my hubby the time of day. He does love my son. He knows when his truck pulls in,then I'm chopped liver until he leaves.
Started about 2 years ago. He also does the laying on the floor behind me. I am working at the kitchen counter and turn around quickly, I have almot tripped over him on several occasions. He also cries when drinking out of his water dish. How he can drink and meow at the same time...I don't know. And many times he just sits at the water bowl with his head extended over it but doesn't drink.
I would just snuggle with him and give him extra attention.
Sometimes, we need to show some compassion and comfort another, be it a human being or a pet. So what, if you don't get something done for the day....there is always tomorrow!Well, would you sit and cuddle a child all day that would howl if you didn't? You'd not get too much done.
She sleeps on the floor, on a mattress, beside me now that she's no longer able to jump up onto my bed and I'm no longer able to lift her up.
Maybe I can get a stair lift.They sell steps you can put next to bed and the pet can climb to reach bed, if you want. BUT, if she's already used to sleeping on her bed you might as well leave it as is. Even climbing steps can be hard for old bones.
We had a cat that did it...it was kidney disease I think. Yes, do take him to the vet!I would take him to the vet. Sounds like he might have something wrong with his mouth or throat or something else that makes it painful to drink.
