SOS NEED CAT BEHAVIORIST + CAT SITTER ( who can manage a needy kitten)
Hi friends!
My kitty Cleo (6 months) was an outdoor/human-loving feral cat for 3 1/2 months before we adopted her and brought home. Upon having her in our home she is over stimulated and has the most upsetting way about how she eats. Not only does she aggressively eat her own food. So much so that we have had to put her in a small room with toys and treat puzzles while we plate her food, then open the door, hope she doesn’t grab onto us, then she scarfs down her food so fast that she doesn’t chew and she smashes her face into her dish causing bubbling ulcers and food to go all over her face and coat. She doesn’t clean it up herself so I have to wash her face with a warm cloth after cleaning. Had to take her to the vet for a steroid shot in her lips because they wouldn’t heal up before the next special face smash. She also has a crazy belief that she can eat our food out of our hands. And that makes the inner Latina in me want to take mi chancla off.. Not to mention cleaning up diarrhea daily because any time I look away, she is licking some human food off of the one dirty dish I didn’t have it in me to immediately put away. Or she is licking our oil pour and lapping up inappropriate amounts of human food and finding ways to chew through and into hard plastic now. NOTHING IS SAFE. WE ONLY HAVE SO MUCH STORAGE. Please send help and professional behaviorist suggestions. SOS 🆘 I love her. I am so tired. Plzzzz help meeee
