My orange cat is driving me insane

He has always been needy but he is absolutely on my last nerve today. After being home all day everyday with him this summer, he is beyond clingy. He follows me everywhere I go in the house. He jumps up on my lap when I am on the toilet. He is all over me when I am laying down on my bed reading. Forget about sleeping--he curls up under my chin! If he is not in my face, he is walking around the house meowing for no reason. He'll do that for a couple of minutes and then come right back to wherever I am and get all up in my grill. It is making me crazy!!!!!! He needs to go lay down somewhere for a nice cat nap!

Welcome to my world since when my sister's cats lay around the house I have to practice my high hurdles moves to avoid stepping on them.

@NJChicaa I see your point since my late dad said that cats chose their owners.

@Deepizzaguy We got this one as a 4 week old kitten after Hurricane Sandy (hence his name). He was separated from his littermates and mama by the storm. He's always been clingy to us and has some issues like separation anxiety as a result of being detached from his mama and littermates too soon.

@NJChicaa Oh my gosh, he's like my female cat Mindy, that I use to have! Whenever I tried to read a book or a newspaper, she would come and lay right smack dab on the pages, to get my attention! LOL If I shoved her off, she would jump right back up again!

@NJChicaa Some cats, for a reason I'll never understand, need constant affection!:)

Hmmm, my sister's cat is a little bit like that,,but they are gone a lot and he doesn't get a whole lot of attention.

He is going to go nuts when I go back to work. He already has bad separation anxiety.

I've long given up that fight. It was easier to keep them off when I had just 2. With 5, forget it. They are on the buffet that we have under the windows in the front room all the time and sometimes the kitchen table. I DON'T let them on the kitchen counters but they will try to sneak up sometimes if they think there might be something for them to eat up there.
