So i need some help with my cat (Gizmo), he is driving my bonkers and here is my story.....
So my fiance (andrew) and i live with his parents right now and they have 2 outdoor/indoor cats, and the neighbors cat stops by every once in a while. So this month andrew decided that he wanted to start taking Gizmo outside on a leash and harness because he is just moping around looking kind of depressed, and we figure it was because all the other cats can go out and he cant.
At night when we sleep he has to be in our room because his mom lets that cats in and out though out the night and we dont want her to accidently let him out (she let a raccoon in once). Also one of the cats always comes in to our room and sprays. So we keep the door closed so he cant get in.
Well for the past 3 weeks, every morning between the hours of 5:30-8:30 he is up, meowing, scratching at the door, going in to the window and scratching at the screen and trying to get through the blinds, jumping on the bed and walking on top of us jumping off the bed then jumping back on the bed. He does everything and anything but doesnt get anywhere with it.
We have tried taking him out more during the day to tire him out, tried to prevent him from sleeping before we went to bed (i know its nots nice but we tried it once), tried playing with him and nothing works, he is up at the same time every morning. Then at about 8:30 he lays down and goes back to sleep.
does anyone have ANY ideas for me, im slowly going crazy over here lol.
