It's now been 6 months since we adopted Pebble, he's now 9 months old and weighing in at 5 kg (and still growing if his loose skin is anything to go by!). My little Pebble is now a big Pebble!
Hi all, thanks for your replies :)
We really can't risk attaching anything to the walls unfortunately. I think the spray is the best option, so far it's kind of working except that the smell gets to me sometimes (particularly when I'm suffering from a migraine, my sense of smell goes through...
When he is scratching it's usually when he's tearing around the house like a lunatic, jumping from couch to couch or just running up and down the hall, I think he's trying to entice us out to play. How do we teach him that 11pm, or 3am or 4:15am or all 3 aren't playtime for us?
Either way I'm quite sure he's doing it for attention, there's never anything in the room or on the walls when I have got up to see why he's scratching.
He meows and looks in our direction when he's scratching the wall, like he knows it's wrong and will get a reaction (which it does because I've been woken from a deep sleep and sometimes just jump up due to getting a fright from the noise of the scratching).
We have a narrow house so I think when he's scratching the wall in the living room or hall which are just next to our bedroom it is to get attention.
Do you mean when we wasn't allowed in our room was he destructive? He's been allowed in our room since April and is still allowed in there. He...
Thanks for your reply.
We have scratching posts in each room already, he climbs up on top of them to get to the wall!
Fixing anything to the walls (carpet, tape etc) isn't really an option, we are not allowed to do this as part of our lease and we have inspections every 6 months so even if I...
My 7 month old, desexed, male cat Pebble has started scratching the walls at night to get our attention. He's also ripped a big hole in the bottom of our bed and climbs inside. This doesn't worry me as much as the bed is ours but the walls do worry me as we rent our house and we are liable to...
Hi all, my 7 month old cat has started scratching the walls at night to wake us up and it's driving us crazy. He'll do it around midnight, 3am, 4am or sometimes all three! I don't know why he started doing this but it needs to stop. We are renting the house we live in and I'm terrified we'll be...
Thanks for your reply.
We keep his cat tree by the window, he's also got fish tanks he can "watch". Most of his toys are wand toys, balls, soft toys, tubes he can run through or feathery things. I do leave some of the string toys dangling from his cat tree but he doesn't have much interest in...
I've not been very well lately, afflicted with migraines and fatigue issues over the last couple of weeks, as a result it's all I can do to get up, feed pets, go to work, come home, feed pets and go to bed some days. I haven't had the physical strength/energy to play with my 7 month old cat very...
Hi all, sorry I haven't updated this for a while. The cuts are healing nicely, no sign of infection. The one of the back of my hand is taking longer to heal than the others (which are pretty much closed up now) but I think that's just the area that it's in (the skin there moves a lot). I have a...
I've been putting Bepanthem on it and had to cover it with a light bandage for work but otherwise I'm leaving it uncovered. I'm pretty lucky my fiance didn't pass out from seeing the blood, he faints around needles and hates seeing blood (I can't even talk about surgery or cuts or anything like...
This is what happens when you try to calm down a scared cat that's tangled in a harness...
I was walking my cat on a harness and a loose dog startled him (I've only ever seen one loose dog in our area before!), in the panic he got tangled in the harness and ripped into me as I was trying to...
