Food-Obsessed Cat Has Taught Himself To Open Containers With His Teeth | The Dodo Cat Crazy

Came here to say that my cat was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism after having many of these symptoms including the hyperactivity, the obsession with food, the being really skinny and I didn't see this cat being vicious but my cat would also get really feisty. There's two forms of treatment for hyperthyroidism in cats, and I chose the i-151 iodine treatment which saved her life. So if your cat is acting like the one in this video might want to check the vet & test for hyperthyroidism. 😺💗

What an intrepid & smart cat My boy Chip is just like him Chip is a black domestic short hair He can open doors too First I thought putting treats on top of the fridge was enough. Nope. Chip climbed up there and knocked the treat bag to his brother Calvin. I came home to the ripped apart treat bag with opened sacks of cat treats. Occassionally I give the kitties some human food but they get the best cat food! Good dry cat food. Treats. Plus they get cans or pouches of Tiki Cat & Weruva. Have you seen Weruva BFF or Cats in the Kitchen wet food? It’s better quality than a lot of human food. It’s far better than most frozen t.v. Dinners. Now when I cook or eat Chip thinks he’s slick. He grabs at stuff too, which can be dangerous. Plus you have to make sure they don’t eat toxic foods like chocolate, grapes, raisins, onions & garlic. Just the other night I went to get a napkin and Chip stole a meatball from my spaghetti and meatballs. He grabbed it and was running away. He was livid when I caught him and took it away from him but it has onions in it. Him having a big meatball in his mouth is like us trying to hold a grapefruit in our mouths. He did the same thing with half a spring role which is just cabbage, carrots & rice noodles. He has incredible sense of smell too. He knows if leftovers one of the foods hes likes has been thrown in the trash. He dug up part of a spring roll I threw out from the garbage. Chip and Calvin are both smart, affectionate & loyal cats which I am grateful for. They are freaking naughty boys to the nth degree though. You can’t help but laugh. So please make sure you are careful with certain foods and your cats. Make sure they aren’t near hot liquids or foods. Also we need to empty those shelters! Adopt and save a life! Our cats and dogs can even help with your wellness. There is a reason we have them as support pets. We might save them but they can save us every day! 🐱+🐶 RULE!

[@IThink2Much]

@@ciscornBIG Then it's lucky you aren't Trekkie's human. It's entirely possible that he was starved at an early age and has issues regarding food because of it. If they can't train him out of it and you think "rehoming" is the best thing a person could do in the situation, then poor Trekkie would likely end up euthanized if it was left up to you. If someone is willing to work around his behavior and love him despite his issues and it's not personally affecting you in a negative way, maybe you should just be grateful that there are people out there that are willing to love a difficult cat and NOT criticize those same people.

It's funny at how their attemts to keep their cat out of things is only making the cat more determined and smarter.

[@Andrea.1tree]

Food obsession in cats can happen for several reasons. It’s NOT because of their personality. Usually it’s because they didn’t have access to enough food while very young. The cure is to always leave food out in their bowl. They will over eat at first, but when it hits them they won’t be going hungry, they will eat normally. I rescued two cats with this issue.

[@pennylane4471]

This cats owners are causing his obsession with that limited cat feeder.

[@lanycera]

@@pennylane4471 No they didn't. Even with feral cats, the only way to "re-train" them is getting them used to scheduled meals (with plenty of food available each time you feed), supplementing the food with extra nutrients and probiotics; exercise and occupying them plenty and potentially pheremone therapy. Our cats also have access to kibble at all times and eat when they feel like it, but this doesn't work for all cats and some might get obese. It's also an idea to regulate the hunger though in the first few weeks, if the scheduled feeding doesn't work. ADDITION: I just read he had cancer which is another reason to explain excessive hunger!

The poor thing...we always kept his food dish full so that he never had to worry about that again. He's since passed away, and we miss him terribly. 😢 This cat here is little more obsessed than Jerry was though. Lol

It’s kind of nice being able to leave food on the recliner while I use the restroom or get a soda and coming back to it untouched. HOWEVER, she wants to sniff it. She will not eat it but she gets offended if I don’t let her sniff it.
