I have no idea what to do. I’ve had him for about 5 years. Adopted him at 8 months old, along with another (slightly older) cat.
He’s a menace. He won’t stop bullying the other cat. He chases her around but didn’t know when to stop playing. She’ll hiss and run away and hide, but that won’t stop him. It’s obvious she does not want to “play”, and it seems like he’s hunting her sometimes.
He chews on plastic bags, even when I do my absolute best to keep them away from him. I try not to keep them in the house, and the bags I do keep, I try to keep far out of his reach or hidden. He finds them anyway. He then throws up the plastic that he’s eaten.
He wakes me and my husband up every single night. No matter what I do, he finds a way. I shut the door, he claws at it all night. He’ll yell all night. I open the door, he claws at the mattress and knocks absolutely everything off the counters and dressers. He has scratching pads (both horizontal and vertical) all over the house to use, but he still claws at the bed to wake us up. I haven’t had a full night of sleep in months.
We can’t open any windows in the house because he’ll climb up the screens and damage them. I’ve seen him nearly fall out the window.
I’ve tried everything. I took him to the vet about the pica and they couldn’t find anything wrong. I play with him often to try to tire him out. He’s free-feed so hunger isn’t the problem. I’ve tried pheromone spray. I can’t handle him anymore and I don’t know what to do. It’s at the point where it’s giving me panic attacks.
Please, any advice you all have would be appreciated. I love this cat to pieces but I’m at my wit’s end.
