Begging for food has always been an issue with Peanut-- we can't free-feed him because he will literally gorge himself until he's a furry basketball with feet. We have a strict feeding schedule that we stick to- 7A, noon, 7P. The problem is that he's started begging up a storm in between feeding times, to the point where I'm worried he'll hurt himself. This morning I was woken up at 5AM to this cat physically flinging himself at the door to make as much racket as he could, so we'd get up and feed him. He always paws at the door, yowls at it, rattles the knob, whatever he can do- but now he's taken to just throwing himself at it as well, in the hopes that we'll quit ignoring him and get up. I really don't want to change his routine or give in to bad behavior, but I don't want him to hurt himself, either! What should I do?
