This doesn't sound that unusual, many cats carry out this sort of behavior. the fact that it has started out of the blue may just simply be that your cat is looking for comfort in her old age. Sometimes they can become a little unsure of their situation as they get older. Please read my page about senior cats on my cat care teir.
