i have had my cat for nearly 8 years now and love him to bits but at the moment i am really annoyed with him and am seriously tempted to find him another home
for a start, i dont think i have had an unbroken nights sleep since i have had him - i live in a flat (block of 4 with comunal entrance) and my bedroom is only a few feet away from my front door (cat flap on front door) so that is what alway wakes me up
i have tried keeping him in at night but its even worse then - he will just sit there winginbg and scratching at the locked flap which also wakes me up
the other thing is food - i have always fed him whiskas, tried other cheaper stuff but he doesnt like it
started with the tins but he was always leaving bits so switched to the pouches which for a while he never left at all
now he has even started turning his nose up at the pouches
(certain flavours he has never had a problem wih before)
i do not earn a lot of money and simply can not afford for him to be picky
in fact i'm so skint at the moment i have taken on a 2nd job which is a 140 mile round trip every day. Have the option to stop where i work for the night but i come home every day to make sure he is fed etc only to discover he hasnt touched his food so i throw that, put some fresh food out and he leaves it again
i would seriously appreciate any help you guys can offer as i know it would be very difficult to give him up but i can not carry on like this
thanks
