Help me with my cat!!!

I have 2 cats. 1 male and 1 female both have been "fixed" My female cat has some strange behavior lately. First off my male cat likes to wrestle with her and she doesn't. I think they both got into a brawl when I wasn't home and he bit her!!! Right now she does have a scab but it looks like it is healing. But this doesn't describe her behavior! She is now sitting up on my stove for no apparant reason, going on the counters...she's never done this before! She's eating, drinking, going to the bathroom..and she will take treats from me. Here is the very weird one. She is sitting by her food/water dish just staring into space..she'll move to the back door and just stare at the wall for a long time. I don't know what to make of it. Before I contact my vet and they tell me it's a phase I wanted to see what you all thought and if your cat/Cats does this!

Am I going crazy??

Re: Help me with my cat!!!

The staring at the wall I would get checked out. I've never experienced that with any cat I've had (I have had them all my life).

The staying on the counters and stove is just keeping her up high. From the fighting you describe, she is showing her dominance by being higher than the other cat.

She may be staying by the food dish to protect her food. Try separating their food dishes. It causes less anxiety for both of them.
