Hello there. I am new here & am thrilled to find this forum. I have two male Lynx Point Siamese kittens that are 10 months old. They are brothers, littermates. I've had them since they were 8 weeks old and just love the heck out of them. Their names are Tucker and Aiden.
To be honest, they are really well adjusted kitties and tend to know what they can or can't do. And I'm curious to know if sometimes they do things that they know they're NOT supposed to do just to get my attention or my husband's attention. Sometimes they unroll the toilet paper and it is frustrating because I feel like they're wasting a lot of toilet paper! I catch them doing it sometimes. Maybe they just think it's really fun to unroll the toilet paper.
Also, sometimes they'll do things to get my attention. That's what I think, at least. Like jump on the kitchen counter and scratch on my (new & expensive) red chair in the bedroom. Because as soon as I go to scold them, they stop before I can even say "No!" Then they run off to where they usually play. Am I right to assume they just feel like they need my attention? It's usually when we're sleeping that they do something to the red chair or toilet paper. And I don't know how to get them to stop because I can tell they already know they're not supposed to be doing it. And that's why they seem to do it in the first place.. to get us out of bed.
Advice?
