Please help here..
I've had my bengal for almost a year. For the most part aside from a small litter box issue she's been as sweet and well-behaved as can be. About a month ago, she saw another cat outside my house and it (the one outside) climbed up on the awning that sticks out from my house. Basically, the two cats were looking right at each other through a window.
Anyway, when I saw this my cat started scratching incessantly at the window. And now ever since any time she sees her reflection in the window or in a mirror she scratches at it like crazy. On top of that, she's started just outright scratching the walls, making a horrible screeching sound and waking me up early almost every day..Now she's even scratching at the screens on the windows and tearing them up.
I have no idea how to stop this behavior...please, if anyone has any advice at all, I'm open to suggestions. I move into a new condo in about a month and a half and I do NOT want her tearing my place apart.
