My cat is taking a medication for asthma, and it seems to be helping, but at the same time theres a huge appetite stimulant side effect that took place almost immediately.
I give my cat 40g of food every day, in the morning. Typically when I've had enough of her meowing because she eats all of her food at 8:00. So much for being trained. This has been routine. I get up, give her all her food, if she eats it all, tough shit.
The other day when I gave her meds, I noticed she ate super fast. So yesterday I tried to cut it to feeding 10g/10g/10g/10g throughout the day, but she still meowed a shit ton. Fed up with her incessant, constant, shrieking that shes hungry, I just decided to feed her all 40g today. At 8am she was pretty much done with her food, and the meowing has been continuing non stop. No shit you're hungry later, you just ate all your food in one sitting.
Sorry if the frustration is so apparent. Love my cat. But I can't get her to shut up. I try vocally cutting her off when she vocalizes (like intercepting her meow with a no), I've tried scruffing her after a string of meows and it doesnt help. I'm getting an automatic feeder, but that won't solve the problem because shes just gonna friggen meow at that. I tried a brief "time out" while I took a shower, locking her in the closet (holds litter box, and a bunch of clothes, a decent amount of space), that didn't work too. I'm at my wits end and its only been a few days. If the med works I'll be so happy, but at the same time if she won't shut up I will want to throw myself off a cliff.
