Hi,
One of my cats, Wesley, is way too affectionate, which is sweet and I love him. But what annoys me about his behaviour is the fact that he always gets in my face. And I mean it literally. He sticks his wet nose into my nose, cheecks, mouth, etc. He likes to hang around me when I watch TV and I appreciate it, but he won't always just curl up and sit still. He has to stump all over me, get in my way, stare at me which can get disturbing at times. He gets aggressive and posessive at this too. When I cook in the kitchen he hangs around my feet which makes it hard for me to move around without stepping on his paws or tripping. Oh yeah and he follows me around anywhere I go, bathroom including. Chichi is nothing like that, she is independent, affectionate at certain times but is always respectful to my personal space.
He is now 9 month old and has been fixed since I got him at 3 month. Oh yeah, when I have guests in the house, he "targets" them as well which sometimes makes me feel embarassed for him as they don't always appreciate it. How do I train him to be more independent, self sufficient and have some respect for human personal boundaries? Your insight and advice would be appreciated.
