yelly cat problems
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
hey cat community! I have some vocal-cat behavioural problems I was wondering if you all could crack.
my cat boy biggins has always been pretty vocal and chatty, but it's gotten pretty unbearable lately. I've started walking him on a harness at the local primary school (it's open to the public out of school hours). he's amazing to walk - super cooperative and sweet with the harness. but when we're home, he's been non-stop throwing howling tantrums when he can't go.
how do you handle this kind of behaviour? I'm ordering some earplugs and ignoring him in the meantime, but any advice would be great!
I have two vocal girls, one of them very much so. When she starts yelling about something she cannot get, I offer something else she likes that I'm willing to give. She's very cuddly, so offering pets and a head to bump into calms her down in most cases. A short additional playtime is usually a viable alternative.
