Hi all,
I absolutely adore my little 6 month old sphynx kitten named Einstein but there is one thing that's really spoiling a perfect kitten - he's absolutely obsessed with food. To the point where I have to put him in another room at mealtimes
.
Is there anything that I can do to correct the behaviour? At the moment he will sneakily try all angles towards our plates and is relentless no matter how many times I move it away. Even the rustle of a packet of crisps can stir him from a slumber until he's on your shoulder trying to wear them as a hat.
He's a lovely little thing and so amazingly affectionate, he wants constant contact which I don't mind as he's happy to perch himself on my shoulder. Not so fun when it's 3am and he wants to curl up on my face but I can deal with that as its kind of cute.
The food thing however is driving me nuts!
I've always had dogs whom can be easily trained out of this kind of behaviour but as a first time cat owner my firm no's are just met with a gaze that says, challenge accepted.
Help! Any tricks that I'm missing?
Thanks in advance!!
