My sophie has no manners! But she's my baby and I let it slide for too long! She's recently had a litter of kittens and I plan on keeping at least one. I feel like I need to teach Sophie the rules of the house (finally) before the kittens learn from her.
My main issue is going on counters and the table. She goes on the table even we eat and tried to steal food from the kids plates. I gently push her off the table and say NO sternly but she just comes right back on...She does not learn! It's at the point where I need to close her in a seperate room when I am preparing food, eating, and clearing. I have to use plastic bags from the grocery store as garbage bags and take them out before I let her out so she doesn't go through the garbage.
She gets enough to eat...especially now that she is nuring/ weaning. Free feed premium dry kitten food and 6 wet meals a day. There is no way she is hungry!!!
These are just my biggest behavioral issues with her but the list of her naughtiness is long. She was anandonded at 6 weeks and didn't have a kitty mom to teach her manners
Any help would be appreciated!!!
