We have a 7 week old kitten that is obsessed with food, mostly our food. We got him and his brother at 5 weeks (early I know, but the mom's family were moving out of state). He started out fine, but the past 4-5 days, everytime we eat, or it looks like we might be doing something with food in the kitchen, he is right there chirping (he sounds like a bird, not a cat) desperately
climbing up us to get to the food. He will not be put off. We continually put him back down, and he is finding new ways and powers to get himself back up to us, even trying to search our mouths to get to the food! It started out cute, but of course now is just driving us insane. He has dry food and fresh water available to him at all times. I give him some canned food in the morning, which he can't eat fast enough. If you try to take it away, he growls and pushes you away. It's crazy! He's just adorable, and except for roundworms, which he and his brother have been treated for, he's a very healthy guy. He didn't have any problems coming to us so early, he was only nursing about once a day when he left his mom, and eating the mom's dry, using the litterbox well, etc. He adjusted great. I just can't figure out what to do with him. I know how to dog train, but we've never had to deal with training any of our cats!
Anyone else deal with this or have ideas?
