My cat views me as his playmate who doesn’t listen if he doesn’t feel like it. Most cats are like that to a point, mine doesn’t give me love back. He is loveable with my spouse but doesn’t listen to him either. I’m cutting his food for a day possibly 2 at most here until he gets off his high horse and is ready to listen and be loving with me. I’m tired of his demanding behavior and ways. Him having access to his food all the time will change to measured amounts and being hand fed will happen too if still wants to keep pushing it. His latest thing has been him trying to bite me when petting him, not going to allow him to bite and think that he is the boss around here! I hate this method of using food, nothing else is working but I’m already seeing improvement since picking up his food this morning.
