RJ is angry with me
I moved recently, from an upstairs apartment to a ground floor. After
a bit of readjustment, my big orange fuzzbuddy "RJ" settled in nicely. A photo of RJ: http://www.waas.us/images/cats/rj-4.jpg Prior to this, I would put a harness on RJ and hook him out on the upstairs walkway, which he enjoyed. He'd sit there and watch the cars and people and d*gs pass by, relishing in the fresh air. RJ was okay for a few days in the new apartment. But now, he's learned that the front door still leads to "outside" and he's furious with me that I won't let him go out and "play" as often. I try to get him out once a day, on leash, and I keep the lead short, as I don't want him to get into parasites or any trouble (he's quite naive). Now he attacks me! He will go to the door, meow loudly and sadly, and then, if I don't comply, he will run over to me and furiously bite my ankles & feet, and paw at me with great furor. He actually throws a little child tantrum! I try not to laugh at him (laughing at your cat is invitation to serious harm) but I also cannot give in to him with his tantrums. What do you suggest? If I try to bend down and comfort him during a tirade, he will slice me up. I've never seen him so angry. |
