My cats have traded personalities

I've been "down in my back" for a couple of months and pretty much unable to do a lot of my usual chores, one of which is feeding the outdoor kitties morning and night. My husband has been doing it for me, and I suppose his methods are a little different from mine. I resumed yesterday and noticed something odd. The ladies, as I refer to them, have switched personalities, or so it seems. Winnie, my little bundle of tortitetude, who has always been my buddy, has turned skittish and when I come out to feed them, cusses me and my ancestors back several generations. All she wants is the food. Vicky, on the other hand, who up until now has been the skittish one, is now the affectionate purr-baby and wants to be petted and spoken to. I don't get it. Vicky also has very acute hearing and if I talk to her from the kitchen window (which is tightly closed against the cold!) she will meow back from as far as 10 feet away.

Probably changed while being fed by the other gender. They could revert. Karadeniz Jan 2022 #2
