My cat is 13 female and I have already taken her to the vet to make sure she doesn’t have hyperthyroidism or cat diabetes. She is at perfect weight for her size as well. Vet has assured me that my cat is overall healthy. However, as of late my mother and niece have moved in with me and her begging issues have progressively gotten worse. My cat before they moved in would only beg for food moderately and would never sit in front of me as I eat and beg for food. I know that this is fully behavioral but she is now lashing out when ignored in the kitchen and has now bitten my mom because she was not fed.
She is progressively getting worse and is swatting everyone minus me. And her rage at not getting fed, even though she has food in her bowl, is getting out of control. I know she wants wet cat food which she is given in the mornings. I have told them to not give her food and treats all the time such as meat off their plates or a can of wet can food, but my cat has them wrapped around her finger and now that I have said enough on the spoiling she is getting more and more aggressive.
So far I am trying to keep her on her regular schedule of food. I ignore her when she is begging, but I am seeing her charge at my mom and niece and I fear that she may take out her kitty rage on them. But other than ignoring her tantrums for food when she has perfectly good food in her food bowl it doesn’t seem to be helping and I’,m looking for ideas.
