It'll get worse if you give her any attention. I learned this hard first hand with my kitty. She begs for hours in between meal times and will start looking for things in the house to fuck with to get any kind of attention. And once you give her attention, it's game over. They'll have you wrapped around their little claw before you know it. And soon she'll be scratching all the walls and doors, crying like she never gets fed, trying to get under the cat gate, knocking bowls around, and--- okay, that's probably just my cat but you get the picture
