How do you develop a better relationship with your cat?
I try to feed him and play with him but he never seems to want anything to do with me! He snuggles up with my boyfriend instead of me and never wants to sleep with us in the bedroom. He's always been a very independent cat but sometimes I wish he would be a little more affection-friendly. He won't even let me pick him up!!

I would sujest that you dont push your cat to be afectionite. Clean your cats litter box give the ocasional treat brush it anc do the best you can to take care of your cat. Eventally when your cat is ready it will go to you but somtimes there are cats that never are and unfortanitly your cat could be one of them. Just show your cat that your in charge and your the main owner and it should eventally come to you!!

You need to keep to a strict eating routine at all times. E.g biscuits in the morning, but only leave the bowl down for an hour to allow him time to eat, but not to choose when he can and cant eat, then meat in the afternoon (variety) then another bowl of biscuits in the evening.
Make sure with each of these, you only leave them down for an hour, and preferably try making it you that feeds him and not the boyfriend. You will find he realises more so whos boss, and the eating rescheme will help with weight too! He will then realise he must eat whats on his bowl within that hour otherwise he gets no more.
Good Luck, need anymre advice just email as I work at a vets :)
