My boyfriend and I adopted Lucy from an animal shelter about 4 months ago. She is between the ages 3-4 (shelter wasn't certain). Ever since we got her, she has been meowing non-stop. She starts in the morning and goes until leave for work. When we come home, she's at it again.
The only thing that works is to play with her and pet her. I would love to be able to play with her every second I am awake, unfortunately, I have other duties.
We have tried ignoring her. We have tried giving in and petting her whenever we can. We've tried blowing in her face, a "firm no" and a light swat...nothing works.
She clearly wants our attention...and we try really hard to give it to her. But nothing is ever enough for her. I've had cats my entire life, and none has stumped me like she has...I feel like a horrible parent because I can't seem to make her happy.
Does anyone have a similar story...with a happy ending?
