Two weeks ago my boyfriend and I adopted a cat from the local animal shelter. His age is estimated at 1-2 years old. When adopting him we explained to the women who worked there that we were looking for an independent, laid back cat that wouldn't mind being by himself while we were at work during the day. So we got Lou, and he meows constantly. We thought it would go away after a week or so once he got used to his new home. However the meowing has not ceased, and I feel that he is acting this way because he is not getting enough attention or stimulation during the day while we are gone. I'm not sure what to do, because I don't want to give him back, but I cannot change our schedule to accommodate this cat. I've bought him toys, I play with him every evening when I get home, we have an aquarium that he shows no interest in, what else can I do? The meows and demands are starting to wear on me. I've grown up with cats, never seen this.
