What does it mean when a cat doesn't sleep and is very demanding of attention?

A question from my sister.

1. I'm getting SO much mileage out of this...

3. Check the thyroid (could be other health issues as well)

One of mine is hyperthyroid and when her meds stopped working that's what she did. We have since put her on oral meds and she's back to normal. I hope its nothing for the kitty's sake.

5. She's just been checked out, for this among other things.

Nothin'.

But thanks for the suggestion. :)

6. Their food bowl is empty*, at least that's the case here when my two boys

won't leave me alone.

*empty being defined as they can see a bit of stainless steel bowl through the food that's still there.

7. mine know when the bag (up on a shelf they don't go) is below half full

she starts getting nervous about a week before it is empty - and godforbid you actually let it get empty without a replacement on standby! If we had stairs I would be dead from the hallway-tripping behavior.

8. LOL, that sounds like self-defeating behavior on their part

After all, if you died then they'd *really* run out of food.

Although... an excellent line (paraphrased) from last night's The Big Bang Theory:

Leonard to Sheldon: "Did you know that if you died, your cats would eat your dead body?!?"

Sheldon, deadpan: "You don't have to sell me on how wonderful they are!"
