• This is kind of the dream for a lot of cat parents. A cat that wants to cuddle nonstop, follows you around, talks to you all day, and insists on being close. Plenty of people spend years trying to win over a cat for half this affection. It may be a lot, but it sounds like you ended up with a little lovebug who just wants to be involved in everything. That's a pretty good problem to have.

• She may just be a little quirky. Some cats are quiet, some are clingy, some never stop talking. Sounds like Aioli landed in that third category and maybe all three. Every cat has its own odd little habits, and this may just be hers. Being extra vocal, extra cuddly, and a little unusual does not have to mean something is wrong. It may just mean she is a funny little cat with a big personality.

• She may just be happy to be home and making sure everyone knows it. Some cats show comfort by hiding less, Aioli seems to show it by going all in. The constant cuddling, purring, and talking could just be her way of soaking up finally having a safe place and people of her own. It almost reads less like something is wrong and more like a cat very enthusiastically settling into being loved.
