The thing that I've noticed is, if you spoil your cat, the cat ends up acting entitled and usually has a very bad attitude.
My step-mothers cat for example. She spoiled the bejeezus out of this cat as he was growing up. She would feed him the minute he started meowing for food, feeds him treats when ever he demands them and buys lunch meat that just for him (she's vegetarian), will actually stop what she's doing if he meows for food and give him some and etc. He's a total priss in my opinion. I refuse to feed my cats if they meow at me. They get fed twice a day, the same time every day. This cat...I once ignored him when he was meowing at me to give him food (he had already been fed 20 minutes before this!) while I was making myself a sandwich, and what does the cat do? Swipes at my ankles with claws out and hisses angrily. He gave me a pretty good scratch too! :dead: He literally got angry and lashed out because I dared to ignore him!
We've recently gotten his "mother" (my step-mother) to stop spoiling him as much. Like, only feeding him at certain times, ignoring him when he demands to be fed, don't rush into the kitchen when he wants food, and etc. He's actually mellowed out a little because of it! He's starting to learn, oh, my mother is not my human servant and the world does not cater to my royal fluffy butt.
(Also, please don't get me wrong. I treat my babies with a lot of love and would be devastated if anything happened to them. I just don't spoil the heck out of them. Same as you wouldn't spoil a kid.)
Did you spoil your cats? Did they have bad attitudes? Or are you like me, and don't spoil them at all? :coffee:
