My fiance and I have had our cat patrick for a year. We got him when he was kitten so he is a little over one. He has always been very curious and hyper as most cats are. But latley he is scratching at everything and anything. Typically I know cats scratch at things alot but it seems to be getting more and more intense as the days pass. He also is getting into everything and meowing alot more. Just the other day he was meowing and then all of a sudden jumped high up into the hair and slam dunked the top of the bedroom door. Managing to knock the towell and himself off and do a back flip. He has also learned to jump onto the book shelf and stand on top of the fish tank and stick his paws is. As I realize cats are very curios but he has never noticed the tank before or bothered it in anyway. He bites at my fiance's ankles and nibbles on his fingers sometimes. Yesteray I gave him cat treats and he ate them as he normally did at first but then proceeded to lift part of the rug up and hide the treats underneath it and then dive after it like some game. I guess I feel like some of the behavior is normal but at the same time a little over the top. We do not have another cat but are thinking of getting one. Do you think that his behavoir may be that he is lonley? We are both home most of the time. So he isn't left alone. Also he is neutered so we don't think he is tommying...could that be it though? Any advise would be helpful...haha hopefully Im not just crazy and maybe he is going through something. Thank you for your time!
