Default Please Help! My Cat Is Driving Me Crazy!

Ok, some of you guys might remember last summer I got a little kitty-cat.

Yeah...cute.

Now he's grown up and he will not keep his paws on the floor.

He knows he shouldn't but he is always jumping onto shelves, knocking things down, causing damage, eating houseplants etc.

Is there someway I can tame his bad behaviour, especially when I'm not around?

Oh by the way...he is neutered but he is still a little monster when he's on his own.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Is he allowed outside? Ours used to do that until they were finally allowed to frolic outdoors, and now they exhaust themselves scampering around the neighbourhood and just sleep when they come inside.

For one cat is quite normal that he have got too much energy so he is playing with everything and do all that things....maybe he want some cat friend or a dog friend or maybe some more attention and make some games with him...i have 10 cats and they re fine

@Geck, he has recently started going outside in the back garden but only when somebody is outside too.

I was thinking about having a catflap fitted so he can go outside when he wants. You think this might help?

Yeah for sure. Ours have a flap and they can use it whenever they like. If there's a spot in the garden for him to use as a loo then you won't need to clean out litter trays any more either.

Basically, once a cat knows where "home" is (ie. the place where food is) then he'll always return to it. Cats have an awsome sense of direction, so there's no need to worry about them getting lost, 'specially since yours has been with you for a year already. They don't run away for miles on their first time out alone either; ours spent most of their first week outside just exploring the back garden before venturing out any further.

It was really hilarious. Dante and Evey were wee terrors when we first got them; they were two bundles of inexhaustable chaotic energy. The first day they were allowed to go outside, they were sprinting all over the garden for hours, and by 6pm they were both zonked out for the night.

Woah, the joys of cats. Evey just took a LIVE mouse up to my room, as a present I guess. It escaped, and now it's currently hiding under a cushion on my bed. o_o
