Sorry for the weird format as I’m writing this on my phone.
For starters my cats are still little (around 7-8months) but are by far the most chaotic cats I’ve ever owned (I’ve always had cats but never experienced this). We rescued them at only 2 weeks and they became my everything, still are, but I’m getting tired.
I play with them both daily, they get feed very well, clean water 3x a day, beds, tons of toys/boxes, scratching posts and given cuddles whenever I’m working from home or relaxing.
Issue is they are wrecking everything no matter what we do! So far my carpets in my apartment have been torn…they have broken plates, torn down the installed apartment curtains, ripped out my apartments cables, scratched up shoes, ripped into my roommates mattress under her bed and eat any food that the moment you walk away. I’ve told them no multiple times, started using a spray bottle and even try distracting them by playing with them but nothings working. It’s to the point that I get woken up everyday by my partner storming into the room saying “come look at what your cats did” to see either a mess or something new broken. It’s getting expensive replacing things.
I’ve been thinking that maybe it’s me and I’m not a good owner for them. They aren’t aggressive and very cuddly/lovable but spawns of satan for sure. I’m thinking of re-homing them to someone who has better experience with cats such as these two but the amount of guilt I feel for wanting to re-home my babies is eating at me. Before I even take these steps, does anyone have ANY advice or tips to help. Or should I start looking for someone who is better equipped for them?
Please don’t think I hate them because I don’t. At the end of the day they’re still my tiny babies but if I can’t train them well or give them what they may be lacking I feel like I’m failing them as a companion/owner.
