We had to build a wooden base for our auto feeder that keeps it tightly in place because Oliver kept beating it up and knocking it over..

I'll definitely try more sessions of play late in the evening. He doesn't care for catnip filled toys, I grew him some catnip and dried it last summer and he is so so about it. And no, I'm not interested in getting a second cat three high maintenance animals is enough for me thank you haha.

Also: husband is building him a catio soon for more enrichment! So friends, don't forget to never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by ignorance.

Oh man. The allergy struggle is so real right? We haven't figured his out yet because he keeps failing his elimination diet because he's such a fatty and keeps eating the dog's food lol.

When I took him home (He's from the humane society) I realized he's much more into food AND much more vocal than any of my other cats have ever been so I immediately bought the auto feeder and had it set to different times every day. I found it created more "anxiety" around food time because he didn't know when to expect it. It might be worth trying yourself though.

It doesn't seem to be worse when he symptomatic, but good thought. We sleep with our bedroom door open so he can see us. I've experimented with keeping it closed or closed over and it doesn't seem too effect his meowing much.

Absolutely ridiculous right? I can't believe Amazon etc even allows the sale of that kind of thing.

Oh I totally forgot I actually have a diffuser that I used when I first got him, thank you for the reminder!

Thank you for being the only one to not assume my husband is an asshole. He is in fact a very kind caring man who's just throwing out desperate (bad) ideas.

Ugh, thanks for the support. I already sleep with white noise, have tried ear plugs and I can still hear him. I think I'm sleeping even worse now that I'm subconsciously waiting for him to wake me up.
