ive had my beautiful cat for 1 and a half years now. she is about 4 years old. she has one of these meows that just goes on and on and goes straight through your head and seems to last forever. you only have to look at her and she'll do a long piercing mmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeooooowwwwwwwwwww at you. but she only does it for attention and it has never bothered me.
my dp however cant stand her meow and it does his head in. Over the last few months he's started getting stressed out with her. not being horrible as such, just telling her to shut up (not shouting at her, just a moody voice) and he sometimes gives her a moody 'mmmmeeeeeeeooooooowwwwwwww' back.
she has clearly not liked him from the day i got her (even though he didn't have a problem with her back then), but over the last month or so she has become terrified of him. as soom as she hears him she cowers, runs and hides, cries, meows even more at him, and i found a puddle of wee the other day where she had been hiding. she also hid behind the tv the other night and last night i found a big poo that she must have done while she was hiding.
rehoming her is not an option for me because i love her. when my dp isn't round she;s completely fine. over the last few days ive made dp ignore her and not 'meow' back at her or scare her in any way, but she's still terrified.
what can i do to make her feel better? i even got dp to give her a stroke when she was behind the tv to show her he's nice - maybe thats why she shit herself!!
any advice on what i can do? i dont like the cats going in the bedrooms i have another cat who loves dp) but should i let her have her own room when dp is round or something?
advice would be greatly appreciated
