My cat is ten years old and has pretty much always been an angry bitch that hates everyone. Bringing a dog into her home destroyed her life and just when she thought it couldn't get any worse we have a baby two years later. So she's spent a lot of time hanging out under the bed.
She's recently taken to cuddling. She curls up next to me at night, lets me snuggle her ffs. She's curled up next to me right now. I comment to h about it and he says "she's dying. You're going to have to get used to the idea. She's old that's what happens."
OMG. I'm going to cry. She may be a cranky old bitch but she's been my buddy for ten years. FTR she's very healthy.
We have a cat that's like that. He was a jackass for the first few years of his life but now that he's older, he's all cuddly. It happens but she's NOT going to die.
Nah, she's only 10, that's not old. It's the cat's mid-life crisis. She's just changing things up on you and probably snickering at the confusion she's causing.

Animals (and people) often just mellow out with age. Our male dog has always been a little but of a crazy jerk face when it comes to other dogs. He used to not let BG anywhere near him. He is still kind of a dick to her at times, but he will cuddle her now and lets her lick his food dish before he is even completely done with it.
Your cat is fine, she is just chilling out with age.

She is just getting use to the changes that occured. Your cat will live many more years.
I think this calls for some kind of evil practical joke on your part. A habanero in his sandwich? Maybe some petroleum jelly on a door knob? Or the classic tape on the spray nozzle?

1) ten is nothing for a cat and 2) the jerky cats seem to live the longest, I swear.
Our asshole cat loves the feliway diffuser. He now cuddles more, but only with DH. He likes to smack me or swipe at me when I tell him not to do shit. Asshole.
