My 1 year old cat April had 7 kittens 8 weeks ago. I don't know if that's relevant but it's true. She started about 3 weeks ago on my food. Every time anyone in the house eats (no matter what we eat) she is trying to get our food. She jumps on the tables and will eat right off the plate unless you put her down first. She will come back again and again and again etc. There is always food in her bowl, so I know it's not that she's starving. I have to lock her up every time anyone in the house has a meal or snack! I feel awful about it, but mealtime has become a major argument between my husband and I as he is majorly annoyed by her trying to eat his food.
What can I do to get her to leave our food alone? I'm also worried that her kittens will start doing this using her as an example since they are now starting to jump and climb on furniture. Please help me bring peace to mealtime at my home!
