Harley is very very needy of attention. He is a giant ball of energy and plays very rough. He accidentally hurt my other cat, Pico, and she got an ulcer in her eye so I have separated them. Pico mainly stays in the bedroom so I can monitor her and give her the ointment every so often.
But in the middle of the night, Harley will continually meow and slam his body against the door for attention or to be let in. If unsupervised, he will rough house with Pico, which is why I keep them apart for now.
I clip their claws every so often, but he still play fights by going for the face and throat even if she growls or hisses to tell him its enough.
In addition to excessive meowing, he meows a lot for food. I have them both on a feeding schedule and Harley will attempt to steal Pico's food when he can. He also GORGES and then throws up almost 3 minutes later so I have to give him tiny bits at 5 minute intervals. The only thing that seems to work is if I give him meat with BONE IN, so he has to take his time to chew.
He is such a high maintenance kitty. Any advice or solutions to the meowing, rough housing and the binge eating?
