How to stop my cat's destructive behavior and separation anxiety?

Sounds like he may have some separation anxiety. You can try using Adaptl pheromone products in the other room to see if that makes him more comfortable. Here are some additional resources on dealing with separation anxiety: https://www.petcoach.co/article/separation-anxiety/

It sounds like you have an active young kitty cat! Well, unfortunately, you are doing many of things I would suggest for you to do already. However, we have not yet exhausted all of our options. It sounds like Ginger is experiencing some level of distress, whether or not its due to separation or a need for attention is very hard to say. I would consider adding some Feliway Diffusers into the home. They can be found on Amazon or at a local pet store. They send out pheromones into the environment that aim to calm the cat. They also make direct sprayers that you can put onto objects or even directly onto the kitty himself. If this sort of thing works, it usually doesn't happen overnight. Another option, which may not be possible and might sound insane, would be getting a second kitty. Ginger just may need a friend to keep her company when you aren't around. There are also pharmaceutical interventions that can be given if what Ginger is experiencing is truly anxiety. A behavioral work up by a trainer or vet at your home would be very helpful in this case just to get a full idea of the entire situation. I hope one of these tips can give you some peace at night.

Poor Wally! He may just be a very talkative cat. This will likely improve with time. In the mentine, you may want to try some feliway diffusers and spray in his favorite areas. Feliway is a cat pheromone that helps to calm some cats. It doesn't work on all cats though. You could also try some catnip as this may make him happy while you are away. Again, not all cats react the same to this. Finally, you can look into calming essential oil diffusers but you want to make sure you get one that is safe for cats. You can look into doterra or www.oilyvet.com for safe choices. If the anxiety gets really bad, I would have your vet prescribe an anti-anxiety medicine. I hope this helps!

This does sound like Rexxy has some separation anxiety. Some things that you can do to help him are to make sure he gets plenty of exercise, especially before you have to leave for an extended period of time; put him in a crate/kennel before you leave to prevent him from being destructive while you are away; and you may want to consider talking to your vet about medication for anxiety. This may help his transition and make him be more calm in your absence. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck!

This may be separation anxiety you are seeing in Weasley. I recommend getting a Feliway diffuser to help reduce some anxiety. You may also want to meal feed Weasley and use an automatic feeder with a timer that goes off around the time you go to bed. Setting her feeding schedule around her "alone time" may serve as a distraction. This article may be of interest to you: https://www.petcoach.co/article/top-5-ways-to-reduce-separation-anxiety-in-cats/ If there is no improvement you should consider scheduling an appointment for Weasley with a veterinarian to discuss medication options.

There are a few things you can try to see if Bernard will settle down at night and sleep. Set aside at least 30 minutes a day to play with him to burn off some energy. Get some toys or a laser pointer and have fun! Create climbing opportunities such as shelves mounted to the walls or a tall cat tree. It’s a bonus if there is a nesting box on the top. Use a pheromone diffuser such as Feliway as this may help to calm him more. If this doesn’t work, you can always try a special diet or medications but try these things first. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

It sounds like this is not an easy situation. Some cats will not like being kept inside while others adjust easily. You won't know until you try. There are some things you can do which can benefit any cat (a bored cat and a cat adjusting to a new life style). Here is a great article about cat's instinctual needs: https://www.petcoach.co/article/why-every-cat-needs-a-place-to-climb/ Use a Feliway diffuser, set aside 30 minutes a day for vigorous play (really get him moving) and switch the food to Royal Canin Calm. Try feeding him out of a food puzzle. Hide food for him to find. Provide a stand or resting place by a window so he can look outside. You may also try clicker training him for positive behavior.
