Hi Colton,
Welcome to TDKland. We’re the furriest forum around.
Yours is a common issue and can be resolves easily.
Your girl is lonely. In the past, she’s had companionship and wants some comfort.
If you haven’t already, make a nest for her. You can put a soft blankie and something that smells like you (T-shirt) in it. Then get a soft, stuffed toy and put that with her. Again, make sure it has your smell.
Do not use a crate rather make her nest in your bedroom. When your home make sure she feels safe in her nest by playing with her while she’s in her nest.
Yes I understand that we give treats to lessen our guilt but it can become a bad habit and she’ll be fat or obese. That condition creates more health issues. If you want to give her a treat, get her some Goats’ milk. Put a little in a bowl for her. Goats’ milk is gentle on tummies and has probiotics. BYT, kittens/cats can’t digest cow’s milk.
Let us know how you both are doing and Good luck. Purrhaps, we’ll see your girl as our Daily Kitten. Check out the “Add your kitten” link.
