Im so fucking tired of my cats hanging around the food area like its a concierge service and be tripping hazards or constant begging fixtures that are just part of the area.

I bought an automatic feeder to get it in their heads it comes wuej it comes and its not entertainment anymore but its been such an impediment and i hate how much its become a source of resentment

I've been needing blood work done for literal years and I just keep putting it off or forgetting because I have ADHD. I am attempting to get it done this Wednesday because I have a doctor's appointment next week. If I don't get it done my doctor said I can't get renewals on medication I need (including meds for ADHD lol) because the meds can cause all sorts of issues if you have high blood pressure or a high red blood cell count, etc. Womp.

If you're open to an idea for your cats, what I've done is condition my cats to expect that they will be fed only when a specific alarm tone goes off at 5pm and at 9pm (my wife feeds them in the morning). I started doing it because they were whining for food at 3pm (2 hours early!) and it was so annoying, which seems similar to your situation. For best results, feed them immediately after the alarm and stay consistent. If you want to change the alarm tone later, go ahead, but expect confusion at first.
