Perhaps not the best place to post this, but it's got a lot of people on here so maybe someone can help!
I have 3 cats, all are normally very happy, cuddly and chilled out creatures at 7 and 8 years of age.
They always have access to water and cat biscuits, and get fed a sachet of whiskas each at six o'clock every evening. One of the cats loves his food a bit too much, but this is just getting crazy. He's for the last 3 years atleast (I can't quite remember) been nagging me for food from 4pm until dinner time at 6. Very annoying, but he just doesn't seem to get the schedule, whilst the two other don't say anything unless I'm late feeding them. I never give in and feed him earlier, unless I plan on being out until very late (very rare), and they can't be fed when I get back.
The last 2-3 weeks he's been getting so frustrating though, nagging from any time between 1 and 3 in the afternoon, hours and hours before dinner time! He's healthy, got a good if slightly larger weight, don't have worms or anything (he has had that before so know how it works) and he's still getting fed like usual with the other cats. He's not finishing his evening meal anymore, but snacks on it later at night and in the morning too. I find this a bit strange, as normally he will have his own meal and half of his brothers' too. He does get the same amount throughout the day though, just not in one go.
I'm so annoyed, he runs in my feet nonstop, miaowing and pawing and whatnot. I know he's asking for dinner because of his behaviour, it's different when he wants cuddles etc. He's got lots of food that he likes available, and eats, but it's "not good enough" -.-
Please can someone give some advice? I've got a baby due in a few days, and don't want to keep tripping over my cat with a baby in my arms too!
