Cats may demand food, but you can wait out a tantrum.
YMMV. I had a cat who would start meowing at 5 am and would then destroy furniture and doors while meowing if the humans tried to “wait it out”. Cats can have wildly different personalities and perseverance. Some are ready to meow the entire day and shit on your bed if ignored.
On the other hand, one of my dogs had stomach issues and got diarrhea while I was at work, and when I checked the cameras, she paced for hours trying not to have an accident inside. Meanwhile my cats would shit next to their toilet if it wasn’t clean enough.
