I have 2 cats and a kitten.
Eldest is almost 2, middle one just turned 1 and the youngest is a 5 month old kitten.
My middle one has form for following me around meowing ALL the time, it's incessant.
He craves constant attention and no matter what I'm doing if I sit down he jumps up wanting to lie with me.
But that's a side issue.
His problem now is tha he is now constantly - and I mean every single time - I go to the kitchen he cries non stop to be fed.
I can feed him first thing then an hour later if I'm making breakfast or even just sweeping the floor, he will be expecting food.
As with the attention seeking (which I put down to him leaving his mum far far too early) it is become wearing, the long drawn out cries are becoming irritating. I can't get anything done as he is following me about getting under my feet.
When I got him neutered I mentioned his eating to the vet who told me not to feed him too much as neutered male cats put on weight very easily.
I've now taken to putting him outside if it hasn't been long since his last feed - but he just sits at the door crying to get in.
Now the kitten has started joining him with the craving for food - those two are thick as thieves and always together.
My eldest cat is a normal eater and never cries for food.
I don't want to over feed them but sometimes I feel I have to just to get a 5 minute break from the meowing!
Any tips/advice?
Sorry this is long and thankyou in advance.
