heya!
so Mushroom, a petite, slender Siamese is seriously a Fat Cat in a small Cats body. She gets fed a small amount of Science Diet biccies in the mornings. Then she gets 2 chicken necks at night with a tiny amount of biccies. I can't cook without her getting under my feet and meowing the whole time, she gets on the benches too. Although she has learnt 'OUT!' and will leave the kitchen when I yell it, then she comes straight back in, wanting food! When we eat at the table she knows she's not allowed up but will jump onto the bench and lick chopping boards/plates etc anything she can, not only do I not want her doing this because it's naughty, I dont want her to lick a knife or even lick something she shouldn't consume! I am not sure what to do, I don't want to just FEED her everytime she meows I dont even know if she is doing this because she's hungry. I have tried feeding her when we eat, but she CRIES for food at 6pm and we can't get dinner ready that early. I have also tried feeding her half at 6pm and half when we eat, it hasn't helped. How do I stop her from CONSTANTLY wanting and meowing for food and wanting what we are preparing and eating?
