Needy Cat

Does your cat have you trained? Most cats demand attention rather than being dependent on it, and owners are often happy to oblige.

If your cat suddenly develops dependent behaviors, a trip to the vet to rule out any illness is in order. Often a cat will require extra attention during the adjustment to a new home. There may be a fine line between a needy cat and a well-socialized cat. If you think your cat is too demanding of your attention, assert your independence by acting more aloof and not being a pushover. Your cat also may be demanding due to boredom, so try some new toys or even another cat for companionship.
