Debbie, I'm sorry things are still not working out with Meka. It's true that you must cat proof your home. Sounds like the fishbowl is now out of harms way, but what about everything else that she can break that would cause concern? If there is nothing for her to break, then let her jump where she wants to jump. Cats do like to be up high. Have you gotten her a cat tree or something similar? That way she can jump and climb with no worries. A good idea might be to put it right in front of the window with the bird feeder.

It really does sound like she's looking for attention. Even when you're busy, sometimes a quick pet and a few quiet, adoring words are all she might need. Talking to her on a regular basis - and more than just "NO!" - might help too. Even though it's been two months, she is still getting used to her new home and "feeling you out." She may just be a kitty that requires a lot of attention.

Like others have said, if it does get too bad and you do decide to rehome her, there's no shame in that. Sometimes things just don't work out. But whatever you do, DO NOT just put her outside. If worse comes to worse, just confine her in one room until you can find her a good home. Otherwise, patience is still the key word, although I know that's not what you want to hear.
