Hello!
About a month ago our domestic cat ran away but luckily we found her a week later. She was very weak and thin. After that incident her personality changed so much! She won't leave my lap and demands attention constantly. She stopped cleaning herself as thoroughly as before, became passive and sluggish. The weirdest and the most upsetting thing is that she used to use her litter box always but now she'll always do IT into our shoes... Is there any hope she'll again become the cat we had known?
In case that matters - she didn't have fleas before and doesn't have them now.

Last but not least, is she neutered? If not she may be pregnant.
She's neutered yes (thank god!) and good news - she was better this weekend!
Her appetite has been fine ever since we found her so I didn't consider major health problems to be honest. Now her weight is the same as before we lost her. My only guess was a strong psychological trauma but I don't know how much time cats need to fully recover from something like that if they ever can.
