I just got my first cat in July and she is very sweet and cuddly when I'm on the couch. When I'm not on the couch all she does is meow. She just likes to make noise. All of my friends think she's funny, but in all actuality she is driving me nuts. All I do is scream at her to shut up. I am the type of person that when I adopt a pet it becomes a part of the family, but honestly I don't know how much more I can take. The people at the shelter said she was just nervous and would be quiet when I got her home. Yeah right, they just wanted her out of there so they didn't have to hear her anymore. They thought she was about 2 years old. Please help me!
