Hi!
Dax(my just turned 1 yr old Norwegian forest cat cross) and I are back with a little problem...
It is very cold here in Sweden right now and hard to let animals outside. I try to let her out for a couple of hours on warmer days when it is only a few degrees below but when it gets really bad, I dont want to let her out and she doesnt want to go out either.
This creates a problem - she is a fairly energetic cat and being inside all winter is slowly driving her crazy!! we have toys for her and we play with her but her energy is seemingly limitless. She zooms from one end of our small place to the other, swipes at our legs so we chase her, and attacks my partners workchair(which looks very sad after a long winter) while wailing with her ears back...
Sometimes she runs around so fast she cant turn corners in time and slams into the walls. She also likes to *bristle* up at me, several times a day, in a defensive arched posture with her ears flat for no good reason - like while I'm cooking or something!! Its very funny to see - but why?? It seems as though she wants me to play with her but how do you de-fuse a cat when they are out of control?? btw - she is already spayed.
