Comment on My Cat is Mad at Me by Deborah

Deborah — Mon, 01 Jan 2018 22:33:41 +0000

Why does my cat get annoyed if I talk or have a conversation with some else in the room? She loves to be on my lap whenever I’m home, she is very smart and spoiled, very social and loves constant attention, but if she is on my lap perfectly content and I start talking to someone else in the room, she jumps off my lap and goes into pouting mode. Sometimes I whisper to not offend her and she’ll look at me with a warning look as if to say, if you start talking, I’m leaving. It’s so weird and have never been able to find any answers or anyone else who has a cat like her.

Thank you! I will be updating, though probably within a few weeks. Because I've been working on a couple of projects, I haven't been able to post as frequently as I would like.

Comment on Bengal Cats Use Their Litter Boxes! by Sinead

My Bengal girl (3 y.o) has been superb in peeing in her litter box (as long as it's clean) until this year. We have to keep all bedroom dors closed as she pulls up vents in our ducted heating so now..... she is banned from these rooms and as a result ... likes to pee against these doors. We almost view it as "a protest". Would love to knows if other Bengal owners have experienced such a level of "belligerence" and how they've addressed it. Very frustrating!!! Diva behaviour!

In reply to Ruth Hahne. I will. I intend to write more about their behaviors--what I learn along with the questions and unknowns. BTW, thank you for your interest and your comment.

Hey I have a 2 yr old female seal lynx point bengal who has been peeing on our carpet in 3 main spots and sometimes on our bed. We are not sure why she had been doing this, we were told by her breeder to confine her in a bathroom for a couple days with her litter box and food as well with some toys, but once she came out she would do well for a couple days and then all of sudden started peeing again. She has two litter boxes now that are always clean, we keep food on the spots where she has peed on the carpet but yet she still pees.
We don't want to feel stressed about this, but it's such a Hassel to deal with all the time. Help please, what are we doing wrong?

Thank you for this advise, I am applying it at the moment as I have a Tabby of 10 years who is not very happy with the Brown Spotted Bengal I have just rescued. I have lots of patience and intend to have these guys living happy under the one roof.
