I hate for my first cat post after a long hiatus to be about my cat driving me crazy...but she's driving me CRAZY! For the past few months, Reese has been marching into my office about an hour before dinnertime screaming her little head off. If you turn to look at her, she will dart away because by golly she KNOWS she isn't supposed to be in here doing that while I'm working! After a few times of getting in 'trouble', she will sit just out of reach or around the doorway shrilling at the top of her lungs, and I swear she hardly stops for breath. And there's no door on my office so there's no shutting her out.
It's not that she really wants food. She usually picks at it for a moment and then happily walks away. She craves the routine of me getting up to feed her. That's all she wants. Everything has to be an unwavering just so. But the fact that she will yowl for it for an entire HOUR, maybe more, is insane. And lately our poor dog...well, I guess he's had enough of it. When she comes in and starts doing her dinner song, he starts howling too! And tossing his head, clipping his teeth at the sky, and generally acting extremely annoyed. I don't blame him one bit! It's awful! I have no idea where to start aside from getting up an hour before dinner to lock her in the mudroom with her litter box.
