Hey all,
Sorry I've not been around for a while. Life's busy. Busy busy busy busy. Had to take a moment though to pop in as I'm having a little problem with the Drizz man, and I'm clueless as to what to do about it. Usually I just give in, but I don't know what he even wants...
See, Drizzle is a cry baby. A big cry baby. His crying is soooo sad, soooo heart wrenching, I can not help but give in. It hurts me to hear him cry. So he's basically spoiled wrotten... and now we're having problems. He's been crying a lot without any obvious reason. He'll sit at my door or in the hall outside of it and cry, until I get up and follow him where he wants. Usually down stairs. I figure he wants food? Only one out of every ten times, cause I offer him various foodstuffs and he rarely eats it. I figure he wants to play, so I throw a paper ball, he runs after? And sits there and crys where it landed. Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry.
I've been keeping treaties in my room, and if I give him some, he'll stop - for a while - and then he starts up again. He's sitting on my bed no 2 feet from me and doing it. I ask him "What?" I follow him where he wants me to go, I offer him food, play, attention, hugs, love, petting... *sigh* I'm rapidly aproaching my wits end. I almost yelled at him today, and I never yell at the kitties! He's not being bad, he's just... crying! Is he sick? He's not behaving sickly. He's running, he's sleeping, he's eating and using the litter box all normally. He's just crying more as well.
Should I take him to the vet, just to be safe? He loves to chew on paper... could he have eaten some of it and it's doing something to him? Like I said, he uses the litter box. He has very distinct... 'remains' in the litter box, so you know he is using it... he's acting totally normal -- except he's crying for no reason! None that I can tell! Am I missing something?
Help!!
