Hey all!
So recently (about 2 months now) I moved into a new apartment and my Kirby has been acting up! In my old apartment, we had a balcony and he was able to have supervised outside time and essentially a catio where he was able to lounge outside. A new change in life led us to have to move to a more densely city area where there is no balcony and lots of cars so he cannot go outside.
Because of this, he's been really acting up. Crying by the door, scratching, biting, you name it. I've tried to catify my apartment more, added a new cat tower, bought another tunnel, installed a bookshelf for him and started playing with him while I'm doing my readings for school. None of these things worked. I also tried leash training him for the past month, but he hates the harness, so we had to stop.
The crying won't stop and I'm not sure what else to do. I feel like I've exhausted my options of trying to catify my home and there's no way I can let him outside because he doesn't like the leash and there are too many cars out so I don't want him to get hurt. Does anyone have any solutions or have dealt with this before? I have no clue what else to do and I don't want to stress him out further, so I would really appreciate advice and loving words right now.
