If you are owned by a cat or two (or more), perhaps you can help me...
My felines have recently become extremely... demanding. They've been talkative (or meow-a-tive) a lot in the past and the majority of the time, I understand what they want (food, going outside, being pet, food, being pet, food, brushing, catnip, food, and being pet).
But lately, they are coming up with new "Meows" that I have never heard before. And the intonation is rather defiant.
Right now, I'm sitting in my home office. I have two windows next to my desk. One of the windows is open and I have a chair scooted up to it so the felines can sit in it and look at the birds that land in the tree just outside the window. Sassy hopped up and started meowing incessantly to me. With complete intention. Cat with a mission. They had just been fed, so that wasn't it. There's catnip out for them. Litter boxes are clean. (Brushing and petting are evening activities for Sassy.)
When I'm eating, they are becoming more insistent on investigating what I'm eating. (They get fed before I do.)
Are they planning something? Someone (and it's not me) has been intermittently pooping on the bathroom rug instead of the upstairs litter box. (Haven't switched brands of kitty litter either.)
I even got them new kitty treats yesterday and they chowed those down. Not good enough! Maybe I should give them both a bath to put them in their places?
I know there's that guy, the dog whisperer - is there a cat whisperer?
And shame on you folks that clicked on this thinking that it was about a naughty posting! Shame shame!

Have they been checked for worms, lately? I had a cat that exhibited much the same behavior you are describing and she was later diagnosed as having a tape worm.
