Cat Has Food Obsession

[smurfchops]

My cat has always loved his food and would eat at any time. he has always been a mad ginger moggie and is now 12. But he is becoming obsessed. Miaows all the time for food, really loud, he has been wormed and gets regular food, maybe he is bored but every time I get off the chair he jumps up and starts miaowing again and running to his empty dish. I usually ignore him. Or just cuddle him but how can I get him over this obsession ? He is not a skinny cat and well fed and loved but this is getting very annoying now and I find myself shouting at him to shut up which I dont want to do. I think he is just a potty cat.

Just water Tambo. She just laps water from a glass tumbler. Quite funny. She drinks about half a glass a day and as the water level drops her face goes further and further into the glass. Then she miaows for more water!! She has always drunk a lot of water but is very healthy. I worried that she had diabetes. But she is regularly checked by vet and at 12 years old is still rushing about like a lunatic. She is hyperactive I think.

Please don't shout at him just ignore him or as I do with mine I say miaow back to him.

dementia or over active thryoid would be my guess - having had cats that have behaved in this manner.
