Hi, new cat owner. Never had cats before (since childhood) due to asthma and allergies. We just adopted my dh's grandfather's cat because no one wanted her and I just couldn't leave her.
Jimma is 12-14yrs old. A very beautiful cat but not a lap cat. She will meow for me to pet her and starting to follow us around.
She was on can cat food and friska's packaged food. I discovered she wasn't eating all the can cat food and felt it was a waste of money and am now trying to get her to eat dry cat food.
Need help w/ following:
1) she paws at bedroom door starting around 4am. I no longer get up to let her in as I like my sleep. Suggestions how to get her to stop this behavior?
2) do I need to put can cat food in fridge if it isn't eaten or can I leave it out?
3) how do I get her to eat dry food. I have mixed it w/ soft package food but she still seems picky.
4) the cat litter seems to become like cement. what am I doing wrong?
Thanks all.
