Help. My adult cat has recently undergone a complete personality change. All of a sudden - she is begging for table food where before she would not eat it even if offered. She has become quite a nuisance - jumping on the table, begging, pawing at our legs, climbing in the fridge... Any ideas?

Take her and put her in another room with nice tasty food of her own and keep her there until you are done and the table has been cleared.

Yup, she's gotta learn table manners all over again, hee hee.

If she wont respond to get down, or a spray bottle and stay down, then putting her in the bathroom while you eat is a good idea. We don't want any kitties jumping up on hot stoves while the food is cooking!


Has she stopped eating as much of her food? Maybe she's still hungry, going through a growth spurt? If you eating something good like chicken, perhaps you could put a little in her bowl.
