My cat won’t stop talking please help

I’ve read that obsidians are very needy cats and very social and my cat clover is very social. He loves people and he always wants to be in the room where people are he’ll scratching meow very loudly. If not recently he got neutered at two years old, which is older than most my roommate and I realized after that he had become about five times more needier than he was prior he always meowed and begged a lot and acted crazy but now it’s constant he never seems satisfied. What do we do? Do I need to play with him more? Are there any things you guys recommend? also is this normal? He just got checked out at the vet and they said he was perfectly healthy besides some cavities.

Embarrassing warning to others

Post image
4.4k Upvotes

I’m incredibly embarrassed that I fell for an online breeder scam, but I did. I’m sharing here in hopes of helping others avoid the same.

I had joined the Facebook group Abyssinian Breeders and Lovers and several other groups.

I reached out to a woman who had a kitten left from a litter. I told her I had to limit what I could spend on a kitten and she played me so good she even delayed the response overnight to ā€œtalk to her husbandā€ to see what they could offer out to me for. She then contacted me and accepted my offer of $1k and we started the arrangements for my pick up and I even had an address (fake) because I didn’t want to pay the cost of a delivery service they were offering.

She sent me pictures and videos of the kitten as updates.

And I sent the $500 down payment.

And now her Facebook profile is gone and the messed between us have been deleted.

It’s so embarrassing to have fallen for a scam. It seems like at my age and intelligence, I should know better. I think wanting a kitten so badly and not being able to pay $3k for a kitten got the best of me.

I wanted to put this out there because it’s also a network. I have been reaching out to breeders everywhere. A couple referred me to her telling me she had a kitten left from a past litter. I think that’s their only role - is to direct people to each fake profile to get you to ā€œbuy a kittenā€ from the latest fake profile, someone falls for it, the fake profile disappears and the ā€œreferrersā€ remain.

Now I feel like our suspect that 95% of the people on that group are fake and scammers.

And I’m sad. I was so excited to be getting ā€œPixieā€ and I’m $500 further from getting any kitten.

Hard lessons. Be careful out there.

I can’t stop crying but I wanted to share his last moments with you all. The last picture was him sleeping before I woke him up to give him the longest hug. We had the vet come to the house to make the transition the best for Punkin to make sure he wasn’t stressed out and calm.

She started her first day by being fiercely independent, now she’s tearing up the house and my plants and curtains, but also a massive ham now…and generally being the most playful kitten I’ve ever had! And I’ve had some high energy breeds.

My question for you is even though I’m at home she’s getting bored of her feather wand, what are some other ways I can keep her interested?
We started clicker training which she learnt SO FAST. Was mostly to keep the cogs turning but what else can I do to keep her busy when I have to do my job? Even though I work from home I’d love some pointers of stuff I can do to keep her busy when im busy!

I want to show her at the next kitten show in sept, but no idea where to get started with that either!

This girl is food obsessed! She’s 7 now and has always been such a little piggy. I got her at 8 weeks she was already 2.2lbs so the vet said she was going to be a big girl. How bad do you think it is? She’s hovering around 11.2lbs right now. In the summer I can get her down to 10.5 or so if we really watch her food but with having two of them is tough.

He always does this whenever it's a sneeze or a cough and it's the cutest thing ever. Anybody knows what they're trying to say/convey?
