I am in desperate need of help. I have two cats they are part Tabby part Siamese. We have had them for almost two years now, and their behavior gets worse by the week.
--my cats walk around the house and cry and cry and cry, so loud that the downstairs neighbors scream. They are healthy cats. I know it is in Siamese blood, but they are sooooo... loud and it is constant. They cry at the doors to go out, but they never go out. They cry in shower for the water to be turned on even though they have water.
--they crew EVERYTHING!!! cords, socks, boxes, carpet, shower curtains, they even chewed through one of those thick water jugs. I've used every spray imaginable, they don't seem to mind the nasty taste. They have tons of toys throughout our home, and I am only gone for seven hours a day, the whole reason we got two cats was to prevent boredom. When my husband and I are home we play with them and give lots of affection, but they will chew on anything right in front of us. Water in their face doesn't bother them, yelling doesn't work, we've even tried a swat to their bottom, but they just go right back to chewing.
--the middle of the night they whine and destroy. We live in an apartment so there is no where to put them to keep them from crying at our bedroom door, and when we leave it open they chew the cords for the tv, jump all over us, leap at shadows on the wall, and attack our legs/feet and each other.
I don't want to get rid of the cats, but I'm running out of ideas, we have reached a point that we would like to have all their teeth pulled and their voice box removed. Please somebody help!!!!
