Hi, my cat has a history of bad behavior. This is actually the 3rd time I start a new topic because of this, but this time in different circumstances...
I relocated to the UK to accept a job offer.
Because of my cat history of bad behavior, and a need that he has to "be free" (eg. he doesn't accept being closed in a room during the night) - I thought of giving him to a person who could prove to have the means and willing to make him happy, preferably with a garden or some outdoor space for him, before moving to the UK - especially because I would have to rent a room or a small flat in the first few months.
My wife didn't accept it. So I brought him with me. This is where hell starts. I am in a small room, the cat is with me. He doesn't accept me to close the door during the night. He meows loud because wants to go to the street. As I ignore all his noise, he moves to his typical bad behavior strategy and starts the scratching on everything (carpet!) and knocking things down.
He has nail caps but, somehow, still manages to cause scratching damage!
The owner of the house (lives on the floor below) demanded that I took actions to prevent noise, as he couldn't sleep (even I have trouble sleeping). Today he came up to the floor I am staying and saw some damage in the carpet due to scratching and noticed me that I have to fix / replace the carpet.
None of my friends can't relate to this because their cats usually sleep with them in the bed, or don't mind being be closed in a room.
Has anyone here ever had to replace a carpet because of the cat? I dont even know how muck I will have to pay
Any suggestions ?
