help!
i recently adopted a cat who turned out to be pregnant by . i noticed she started acting pretty aggressive and ravenous but that was excusable due to pregnancy. the kittens are now 8 weeks old and she is WORSE than when she was pregnant. i can no longer keep garbage of ANY kind in the house. i cant open the fridge without her jumping into it. she has even found the non perishable foods in the cupboard such as pasta and seaweed and has started eating those. she has kept me up every night for the last month due to picking apart the garbage. she has even gone so far as to eating plastic. i feel like ive tried everything. ignoring, spraying her with a water bottle, saying a firm no, looking her in the eyes and saying no, hissing, everything!
im fairly certain she had a pretty bad childhood and was possibly starved fairly often. shes most likely not much older than a year. im convinced she knows what she is doing is wrong but chooses to do it anyway.
is this continued hormones? or a negative imprint due to her childhood?
im willing to try ANYTHING.
i cant live like this. i dread coming home.
