If a female cat is in heat, she may become more clingy. This is because she is seeking mating or looking for a safe place to give birth.
If there have been recent environmental changes in the home, such as moving, new furniture, or a new pet, the mother cat may feel uneasy or anxious and seek comfort from her owner.
Sometimes, a cat's sudden clinginess might be due to physical discomfort. She may be experiencing pain, discomfort, or other health problems, requiring her owner's attention and care.
