This is timely. Out of my five cats, my primary boy has been really needy or making a game out of hop on table, walk on keyboards, get picked up, scritched and tossed down. Repeat. Even cat tv on youtube hasn't been helping.
Maybe he's spoiled 'cause you call him your "primary" kitty!
Just be glad the "secondary" cats haven't decided to vent their frustration.
All five of the 4 legged a-holes I have here, plus the one my wife has with her (we split / travel between houses) are completely spoiled. He's my primary - my wife brought a couple of cats to the relationship while I had my old ginger. During covid my ginger passed and the other cats were sorta hers - the two sisters she adopted from a homeless person, the boy who hitched a ride on her gas tank (special, but great cat), and then the cat she adopted form a homeless woman after covid.
My ginger passed and I adopted a cat who was named "Tank" because he was a little box of a pre 4week cat. Got him at 5-6 weeks, his name is Tiny Jerk because even at a young age - tooth brush, toilet paper, socks got carried off.
It was a bond. So while primary and secondary are not the best terms "my cat" and the others isn't either.
He is a great cat, he's also dealing with moving from the place he was raised to a new home (mover ~1yr ago, but moved him up - and the rest - 6mo ago). He gets all the attention he demands, but it's hard with the typing.
The other 4 cats are eat-only replicas? Is the primary predetermined or voted?
