We have two 10 month olds. One is incredibly food motivated and will attack me and my partners feet until we wake, purring while he does it. I would normally not feed them until they’re breakfast time regardless (6:30), but it’s been getting really fucking bad. They’re cuts that bleed, so my partner, understandable, has been feeding them to appease them.

Today, 3:50 AM. Yesterday when she feed them at 4:30, he still attacked my feet at normal breakfast time as well.

I’ve tried wearing 2 pairs of socks. Im thinking of getting a nail trimmer but not sure that it will truly make a difference, a scratch is a scratch. We’ve tried removing him from our bedroom but he just scratches and cries at the door.

I know the best option is to just not feed them until we are both up and out of bed for a while so they don’t associate waking up with eating. I’m just worried that’s it will be a long battle. Has anyone had to deal with something similar?

My girlfriend thinks buying a brush for our cats is a waste of money, but I disagree and am curious what other cat owners think.

We have 2, 10 month old kitties (1 short and 1 medium hair). Lately I’ve been noticing more hair around the house and 2 hairballs.

I actually bought a brush a few months ago but it didn’t seem necessary (middle of winter so no shedding) so I ended up returning it.

Are yall team brush or no brush? Does it make a noticeable difference or is it overkill?
