Hi everyone! I recently made an account so I could try and find some insight on why my cat does some of the things that he does, it may be a long post
I “rescued” my cat a little over a year ago as a kitten. He was an accidental litter between mother and son and wasn’t in the best living conditions so I took him (with permission of course). Since bringing him home, he’s been living along side my older cat and they absolutely adore each other. Now to the not so fun behavior…. He has some quirks that aren’t so cute or fun anymore. He constantly begs for food(jumping on you, pawing at your legs, screeching, etc) , doesn’t matter what you have, he wants it. He wanders through the house meowing at all hours of the day and night (he gets fed before we go to bed and he has plenty of toys and another cat to socialize with). If you shut the bathroom door, he’ll scratch and whine until you let him in. He loves attacking our feet at night. And for the worst one of all, he loves chewing on plastic. Doesn’t matter what kind (plastic bags are his fav) he will seek it out and chew on it, preferably at 3am we try to make sure everything is put away but he will sniff it out it seems. I know most of these quirks are typical cat like behavior but I was wondering if anyone has some tips to maybe decrease them? He’s been to the vet, has plenty of toys and all of that so I just don’t know what to do. I’ve had many cats over the years (my childhood home was a common dumping ground for kittens, unfortunately) but never had a cat with this type of behavior.
please be kind as I just want the best for my cats thank you!
