So, here is our problem with our cat…
He does sleep through the night ( good ), but when he wakes up somewhere between 6:00am and 9:00am…he makes a TON of noise ( bad ). He bats at the door handles, meows, knocks things over…pretty much does anything possible to create noise and get our attention.
Lets start at the beginning…we got him weaned WAYYYY to early. He was less than 4 weeks old when we took him home ( we thought he was a bit older ), so he thinks we are his parents. He follows my wife and I around the house all day long ( cute ), he greets us when we come home from work, he is highly entertained watching either of us shower/ bathe, he comes when called, plays fetch, we chase each other around the house, he chases after me…you get it. He almost the purrr-fect cat ( sorry, I had to ).
To our best guess, he is 1.5 years old. He is a beautiful Russian Blue. Indoor cat. Neutered. Free to roam around a 3000+ sq foot house. Yet demands to be within 15 feet of us almost always.
We have tried everything we could think of:
•\tSet food out at night so when he does wake up, heâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s got it there
•\tKeep his favorite window blind open so he can look out
•\tIgnoring him
•\tMaking loud noises/ yelling “NOâ€
•\tSpraying him in the face with a water bottle
What do we do to stop this obnoxious behavior????
Help!!!!
