Hello everyone! I have a new kitten, about 10 to 12 weeks old. I've had her for a month and from the very beginning she has been obsessed with food. Basically, she wants food all the time and will howl and cry for it non-stop. She goes on and on and on.
We are at a point where we can't open the fridge, bring in groceries, or even step into the kitchen without her coming in to howl and harass whomever happens to be in the kitchen for food, even if she has just been fed! All we have tried is ignoring her and not giving her food, except for her three set meals. So far, it has not worked. She keeps on howling, (almost) tripping us, and searching for food all the time.
She is well-fed, she is growing appropriately, and has more than enough energy to play, so I'm sure she is not going hungry. Is there anything else I can try to change this behavior? Will she be like this forever?
