Begging Cat
My Cat has started something new. He sits under our island and meows
constantly while we cook. We have never fed him while cooking and of course we try not to drop any food. But this constant meowing and sticking his head between our feet while cooking is getting really annoying. We have had him for approx 3 years and he is less than 4 years old... Any hints? |

Hope that he doesn't get to be like Bubba. When I ignore *his* begging he plunks his 25Lb butt on my foot looks up at me with the most pitiful expression, and ups the volume on his crying. He's a drama queen anyway. It's probably *my* fault for giving in. |

She does make bunny nose at any dairy I might be eating, but takes one or two licks then washes her fact and paws for half an hour. |

Perhaps he likes to talk about how good your dinner smells. Or maybe he is saying he hopes you remember that he likes to eat too. TuTu does this also. She is underfoot in the kitchen and I have to keep telling her to move. When I get desperate, I get the squirt bottle out. One look at it and she moves. Princess (RB16) used to sit in the doorway and watch but TuTu cannot seem to learn to do that. Best of luck. MLB |

My cat snowy used to jump onto our bird cage and every time she jumped i squirted. I am sure it will help with the crying but maybe she just wants some attention and needs to be distracted with something else? Regards Margaret |

wrote Water squirting works but takes a lot of perceverance. Loud noises are a lot more effective and less messy than water. A loud NO (from the diaphram, not in a little squeaky girl voice) of a clap of the hands AND a yell work great. |

What is the point of having a pet if it has no more personality than a desk lamp? He's being a cat, he likes to socialize and he likes attention. Your there, the kitchen is full of sounds and smells and voices. He's excited by it all and wants to be a part of it. Get used to it or get an ant farm. Paul |
