my orange tabby cat is really getting on everyone's nerves. please help.
my cat, Nosey (his name), is 17 years old (yes, 17) and he's just as energetic as a cat half his age. he's declawed in the front. i moved recently to a townhouse and have decided to keep him strictly indoors for his own good. he was previously an indoor/outdoor cat when i lived in condos and he got into fights all the time. yet he's still very healthy. i sleep on a loft bed and he climbs up the ladder to sleep with me.
he hasn't taken to living strictly indoors very well. for one thing, his meow is obnoxious. it's loud and echoes off of the walls. he does it to let me know he wants to go outside. that's out of the question, as keeping him inside keeps him safe, no matter how young he thinks he is. the problem is that he meows, meows, and meows, pouting. recently he started to let me know how angry he is by attacking me with his paws and teeth. i'm not sure if he was just playing or not. occasionally he's left a few unwanted gifts outside of his litter box (not because he's sick). when he's not meowing, he's following me around and being a general pain in the ass. a friend spent the night and had a hard time staying asleep because nosey was so loud.
what can be done to stop his obnoxious behavior? ignoring it isn't easy...
i've attached a few photos of the little pest...
