Thanks for all your messages. He HAS lots of toys. I DO try to play and spend time with him each day. I even try to feed him right and made an effort to get him off dry kibble and feed him something more appropriate. He just has a meowing problem, and living in a studio this makes it worse...

So if they don't react to peer-pressure and don't try to please humans by adapting their behavior to us, they should completely understand us not adapting our behavior to them, no? Therefore people who act in a way as to give in to all the cats' demands would seem very un-catlike to them...

I've liked having him, but just noticed that their are some behaviours I just cannot tolerate, and lately I have been feeling frustrated. As to giving him away, that would be kind of hard for me. I am not sure I could find a home for a 10 month old cat, and I would feel guilty bringing him to a...

He is neutered. He just drives me insane! I cannot stand the incessant whining anymore! I feed him twice a day, and in between meals, if I eat something, he will start whining at me because he wants some food. I open the fridge to get a snack: whining !!! When I come home to prepare the food (a...

I have spent four months now with my new cat. He was a five months stray when my friend found him. I have a hard time understanding all the hype around them. People treat them as if they were human, a companion, even a "child." They are conceited, boorish, and manipulative creatures. I don't...

Hi there! I have an eigth month male kitten neutered about two months ago. I just noticed two days ago that he has a small hanging flabby belly. He is lean and I regularly monitor his weight and this really surprised me! Ive searched on forums to find out what could have caused this and have...

Thanks guys I think you were right. Ignoring him IS the best strategy.

Robert he was miawing incessantly and going back and forth from my bed to the door. He never did this before.

Thanks for the posts, they were all really helpful. I got him neutered a month ago, and as to what type of fur he has, he's a tux. I live in a studio that is shaped into kinda of a room and half. Right now I'm not sure I can just "not take him out." I feel guilty after a few days if I don't...

Hey Darli, thanks for your reply. I don't think I scared him last night. The thing is I usually never get angry, and this has caused me problems in the past with certain people. I think that "anger" last night was very natural, or so it felt that way to me. The words I said were irrelevant...

Hi everybody! I'm new to this forum and new to cats (I had a cocker spaniel when I was a kid). I've had my little Skeemer for about two months and a half now. He was a five month old stray given by a friend of mine. I've been trying to research as much as possible on the web to learn about...
