Hi all
we lost our dog recently who slept with me at night. He wasn’t overly keen on sharing with DCat so she would sleep in DD’s room or downstairs at night. Ddog was lazy and didn’t like mornings so I would get up at my normal alarm time of 7am.
I assumed dcat would continue to sleep in her usual places after Ddog passed way but she has decided that my bedroom and bed is now also hers. She has a bed downstairs but she refuses to stay out of my room. She will take up the carpet and doors for hours if I was to shut her out so that isn’t an option to keep her from the rooms.
She wakes me up every day at 4am and I often cannot go back to sleep as she will just harass me constantly until I get up. She knows that scratching things will get my attention so she will climb all over me then go off scratching things on purpose 😑.
She is asking for food, she is fed at 10/11pm each night. She can only seem to tolerate wet food as dry food makes her vomit, so I can’t leave dry food out for nibbles. She eats a whole pouch of wet food in one go. She will ONLY eat fish flavoured felix which isn’t the best quality but she will not try anything else.
She is a very petite framed female indoor 10year old cat in perfect health. She isn’t skinny at all in fact I would say she’s got a chunky wobbly belly on her whilst she is a small light cat.
Firstly, should I just be feeding her more food? 3 x 100g pouches a day is not enough? I will try to weigh her but I think she’s about 2.5-3kg. If I feed her 2 x pouches in one go I think she would wolf it down then be sick. 4 pouches a day seems a lot?
any other suggestions welcome 🤗
