Cat have obsessive compulsive disorder?
| Wed, 04-20-2005 - 11:50pm |
My two year old cat is driving me CRAZY! I seriously do not know what to do with him. I am 6 1/2 months pregnant and he is stressing me out! We have metal mini blinds in our front window and he always goes to them and picks at our curtains and touches the blinds with his paws and makes all this noise. I DRENCH him with the water bottle and he will run away but then he comes right back. When he isn't doing this he is meowing to go outside even though he has never been outside. I try to play with him, hold him, nothing works. I know he doesn't like getting squirted with the water because he runs away but why does he keep coming back? It seems like I always have to lock him in the laundry room in our house or the bedroom so I don't pull my hair out. I just don't understand why he is doing this. I have 2 other cats and they dont' do anything like this. I feel like he is just doing to to purpously irritate me. Does anyone have any ideas besides squirting him and keeping him locked up? Thanks in advance.

I can tell you I had the same problem with my cat, Bad Annie. My apartment had plastic miniblinds. Every single evening, Annie would walk to those blinds, paw at them, and yowl. I'd come with the squirt bottle, and she'd get all excited, like "Finally! You've come to play with me!" I'd spray her, she'd run, I'd sit down...and within 10 minutes, it would start all over.
The only way I solved the problem, was leave the blinds pulled up just above her head...out of sight/out of mind...and have play sessions with her. Since I've moved into my new home, I've decided never to buy mini blinds...ever.
