Hi everyone, I am new to this forum I have always owned cats and I would like to have some advice on my British shorthair boy .
So my British shorthair boy , he is one year and half old , desexed . Who has an extremely strong personality that I cannot understand . To summarise it all , he reacts to everything in the not extreme manner .
For example :
1. When I first take him home as a kitten, he was hiding and screaming his lungs out to show his fare . I mean literally screams his lungs out to tell me not to get near him . It went as far as I cannot even enter the room which he was hiding . If he hears my footsteps towards his room ( door closed of course ) he would start screaming . Since I had many cats and grow up with cats , I was surprised at his reaction . It took him total 2 weeks to come and approach me .
2. After he settled, he is very affectionate, and he loves being with me . But then , if I go to the bathroom with door locked , he would again screams his lung out because he needs to be with me every second .
3. When I put him in carrier everytime for a vet visit. He would again scream the whole way in car ride and in vet’s office .
4. When he gets happy and excited during play. he will bounce and jump and rush into everything, even far as hitting his own had on the wall because he was over excited and running too fast .
5. When that I brought my mother an designer handbag as a birthday present , he tries to sniff and play with that bag , I don’t want him scratch it so I simply picked the bag up and put it in the closet , then ... he screamed at the closet door for a solid 20 minuets...
Sorry for writing so long , in general he just over react to everything . At this point I don’t even know if that is a behaviour problem ? Because he is affacinate, playful , eats well , always using little box etc ~
Thank you for reading my post , I would appreciate ANY opinions !
