Hi guys! I’ve been reading tons of posts on this forum but I’m at my wits end and can’t figure my issue out.
My boyfriend and I rescued an adorable 1 year old siamese around almost a month ago. She’s our first cat. I did some research on the breed before hand and was hoping it would work out. I love her to death but she’s been driving me crazy, but I can’t tell if it is because of her breed or I’m enabling her behavior.
She has chosen me to be the human she follows which would be completely fine with me but she keeps screaming at me. It doesn’t seem like just chatty meows, but that she’s demanding constant attention from me. In the beginning I was giving her all the attention she wanted so that of course could be why. She NEVER does this to my boyfriend. She just leave him alone and comes to see him sometimes. But with me she sounds like she is dying if I don’t pay attention to her.
I’ve been trying to do what my boyfriend does but she has started to grab onto my leg and nip at me if I’m ignoring her. She also started to tear up the carpet. I’ve bought and pheromone diffuser which seemed to help with the carpet issue but is her behavior normal for a siamese or did I let her think she can do whatever she wants?
Any suggestions? I’ll probably call a behaviorist tomorrow. I just recently went to the vet but that was before the carpet ordeal and attacking in retaliation lol.
