My cat Sid is worse than a husband. He is so jealous of my time and affection, it at times can drive ya nuts. Though, most of the time it is very endearing, he can at times be all over me and there is no escaping his advances if you will. As I type this, I am fighting for keyboard space with Sid. He wants to be right on top of whatever I am doing. And forbid if he does not get his way, you get the pouting and aloofness then. If we leave the house for short periods of time, he does not seem to affected. If we leave for a vacation, forget it. You would think we traveled around the world and left him to survive in the woods for years. Boy do I pay for it when we vacation. He goes wild when we get home. And, it is not really wanting to re-bond, it is his frustration and upsetness coming out. He used to try to bite me, but we have nipped that in the bud with spraying him with a bit of water. Now, when I don't leave the house hardly at all for lengths of time, his jealously seems to be worse. He wants undivided attention all day long. I love him and his affection, but after a while you feel like you are strapped into your chair.
And, to make it worse, we have a friend staying with us who has a cat and Taby, the new cat, wants to sleep on our bed, which is where Sid sleeps. Oh watch out. The sounds that Sid can make are unbelievable. That's his bed and no other cat is sleeping on it. We have taken a few steps to calm down this situation. Taby is getting neutered so that should make him a bit more mellow and maybe he won't show the aggressive behavior he has, and Sid can live his little jealous life with me by his side and not the other cat. This has proven to be a time consuming Cat Behavior. At times we just have to put the new cat in the basement, it is the only way to solve the problem at hand.
