Hello everyone,
I am new here to discuss a quite annoying ritual which has developed with my cat, Harriet. She is a sweet 10 month old black and tabby short hair. She loves to snuggle and play, eats about 1/2 - 3/4 cups of food per day (weighs 8.5 lbs). SHe has also been spayed several months ago.
My dilemma:
Harriet is the most annoying thing in the world at 7-8 AM. She runs around wildly jumping on and off furniture and knocking things off tables. She paws the heat vent which makes a loud "CLANG" sound (which she will do over and over again). Last but not least, she meows non-stop until we wake up.
I love Harriet with all of my heart and she completes my family, though I am losing patience. She has been doing this for months now, but I refuse to take her to the SPCA. I have done almost anything I can think of and nothing works. I have taken her to the vet, shes perfectly fine. I spray her with a squirt bottle - only works for a few minutes, never works long term. I've given her treats when she behaves in the mornings. I've yelled at her, I've ignored her. NOTHING WORKS.
Anyone have any ideas?
