I had an automatic feeder, he knocked it over a few times and broke it to get to the food. Didn’t bother again.

I tried this among many other techniques. He just simply doesn’t care and will continue screaming until he is fed. It probably doesn’t help I rescued him when he was 1.5 years old and had been from an abusive house. He was skinny, covered in scratches/scabs and shaved in a few spots with stitches. I was told he had to compete for food with other cats and the owner was abusive. 10 years later he’s still a little cunt about food and afraid of women and anyone wearing shoes.

This is rage bait for sure. My dogs will happily snore cuddled in bed all day. My cat is demanding food at all hours even though he gets fed at exactly 8am and 5pm every day. We call the noise he makes machine gun meows because they are fast, loud, and relentless. The spray bottle lives on my bedside so I can get some sleep.
