Russian Blues aren’t often thought-about clingy cats, and through her adolescent years, Olga loved her alone time extra. Nonetheless, whilst a kitten, she didn’t prefer it once I left for work. I made the error of claiming goodbye and rubbing her head, which might lead to her latching onto my arm and biting me. I assumed it was humorous and endearing, however I ended the observe once I observed a number of tiny holes within the sleeves of my winter jacket.
Now, I say goodbye from a distance, however generally, she chases me to the door and tries to hit me on the leg. Since I make money working from home now, Olga turns into extra upset once I go away. Within the morning, after consuming breakfast, she wanders into the visitor room (her room) and sleeps beneath the sofa. After two hours, she comes into my workplace, meows, and jumps in my lap to take a nap.
She naps for a couple of minutes after which sleeps on the windowsill or chair close to my desk. She likes being in the identical room however doesn’t have to be consistently touching me like my earlier cat. Leaving her alone for brief durations isn’t an issue, however she will get harassed when she is aware of I’m getting ready for a visit.
Getting ready for Holidays
Moreover the vacuum cleaner, the suitcase is among the objects most despised by felines. Previously, once I pulled my suitcase out, Olga would run beneath the mattress and conceal. I’ve discovered that conserving my suitcase in the lounge for a number of days earlier than my journey helps. As you possibly can see from one of many images, Olga stored her distance when she first noticed the suitcase.
After I positioned her favourite toys close to the suitcase, she relaxed and ultimately rubbed her head in opposition to it. She didn’t appear harassed once I packed the suitcase a couple of days earlier than my journey, however she used to get upset once I packed it the night time earlier than I left.
Making Time for Olga
If I’m not paying sufficient consideration to Olga, she has a number of methods of letting me know. She spends most of her day napping, however when she’s able to play, Olga assaults inanimate objects (or me) if I ignore her. She’s going to run to a window and seize the strings on the blinds or drag one of many paper balls from beneath the sofa and hit it in my route.
A number of months in the past, once I was studying a e-book and ignoring her, she hit me on the pinnacle with a paper ball. Normally, she’s not that exact when she dribbles the ball on the ground, however I suppose it was a fortunate shot. You’ll be able to’t at all times cease what you’re doing and play along with your cat, however I attempt to play together with her each day, particularly when she has a burst of vitality.
It makes her completely satisfied and retains my blinds and different belongings from getting destroyed. Though she’s not clingy like a Siamese cat, she’s turn into extra affectionate and needy since I’ve spent extra time at house. By setting apart time every single day to play together with her and being extra strategic with my trip preparations, Olga doesn’t get as harassed or assault me as usually.
