We got 2 cats last summer. A grey boy and a tortie girl, they're coming up to 9 months old.
The tortie has totally attached herself to my eldest daughter, very sweet but cat's obviously not happy and it's becoming a bit of a nuisance
She's currently pacing up and down the hallway meowing, which is alternated with poking her head out the cat flap meowing or pacing up and down the driveway meowing. This will continue until my DD comes home from school when cat will virtually superglue herself to my DD, follows her everywhere and is only happy when she's sitting on, or touching DD
DD can't do anything without the assistance of cat and cat is becoming increasingly distressed if she's not glued to DD. Simple stuff like homework - the cat is climbing all over DD, sitting on her books, etc, if DD is in the shower we end up with cat pacing up and down the landing (or bathroom if she can get in there) meowing her head off.
We do shut her out, but my carpets and doors are taking a battering and the cat is obviously distressed
DD adores cat and it's lovely to see DD and cat together. We all make a fuss of both cats and cat will tolerate the rest of us but DD is her true love and she's really not happy if she isn't glued to DD.
Is there anything we can do?
