I have a nearly 2 year old neutered male cat that is larger lengthwise than average and is about 15 lbs. I feed him 1/2 a cup of food 2 times a day, once in the morning before I leave for work/school at around 9 am and another and again when I get home at about 5pm. This food is inhaled within 5 minutes. He is quite obviously not malnourished by looking at him, but he is OBSESSED with eating everything he can find. In the past he has done everything from knocking over heavy trash cans and picking through all of the garbage to ripping open a sealed styrofoam cup of ramen noodles in the plastic casing to eat the dry noodles inside, to digging through the garbage in the bathroom and eating used feminine hygiene products (YUCK)!
He has also figured out how to open cupboard doors.
I have tried disciplining him with a spray bottle, but I am either asleep or not home when he gets into things. When he has done something bad, I usually know it immediately before even seeing what he's done when I get home because he doesn't greet me but instead runs and hides behind a desk or under a chair.
What should I do?
