Can I ask a "personal" question of the ladies?

[CatWoman]

does your menstrual cycle affect your cats?

Trinity is now growling and snapping at all the cats -- just like she has PMS. And this weird behavior coincides with my cycle.

1. I haven't noticed it...

But my cat is a lot more mellow than I am. I'm a type-A going thru peri-menopause, and try my best to level my hormones thru good food and exercise, but every once in awhile the gyno-beast emerges! The cat just gives me that scornful look, but that's no different than usual!

2. Well this could be due

to varying sensitivity in individual cats or something that's gender related. The female cats I used to have all used to get really needy and hypersensitive but the male I have now is pretty much oblivious.

3. I've read somewhere they can tell.
