no your not crazy. i have two cats they do the same thing to me just put the treat on the ground and leave. then make sure your room is cat free close your door at all times and make a sign(if you want to) on the inside of your bedroom door saying no cats aloud close the door. and theres your cat free zone

First of all, if your cat doens't want a treat, then fine. He doesn't have to eat it. Never force feed your cat like that. As long as he eats his normal food then fine. It's not much of a treat for him to have food shoved in his mouth.
I'm not sure why these cats like you so much seeing as you obviously don't like them, but maybe you should spend sometime getting to know them.
I doubt they are harrassing you, but cats need attention and someone needs to be giving it to them.

Trust me, I have 4 cats. They do what they want to do and when they want to do it. So if they don't want the treat don't let it bother you. Just leave it there. They will eat eventually. Try to give your cat treats only when they do a trick or do something you liked.

I can tell you right now - it's you who's nuts. Guaranteed.
THIS drives you crazy? That they don't want treats and they sometimes want attention? It's not like they're attacking you or pooing all over the place. Now if you had a dog.....you'd probably kill it within a week because they are much higher maintenance.
You need to have a little chat with someone I think.

Firstly, don't force a cat to eat a treat if they don't want it. When I gove one of my cats a treat they sit there and sniff it until I leave and they eat it. Cats like ALOT of attention. Everytime I try to go to bed my cat jumps on me and scares me to death. Then they just lay on me to where I can't move (I move alot in my sleep). To entertain your cat, you should buy toys for it. For example, my cats love this thing called a Star Chaser. It is a circle with a ball rolling around in the circle and they like to chase it. And in the center there is a scratch pad that you can sprinkle catnip on (catnip comes with the toy). and they go crazy over the catnip. My cats get entertained for hours. Hope I helped.

We have two cats, and they both beg for treats, and enjoy them. They also love to play fetch, and chase balls, carrying them from room to room. They both love attention and have a need to be close. They follow me from room to room, and when I sit on the loveseat they are beside me there too. They are a year old. We have had them since birth. They eat treats easily. However just like people, cats do not always feel like treats or eating. Mine ask for their treats. They are great company! They LOVE to be close to their humans!

Cats are weird. They are very independent and are going to do what they want to do when they want to do it.
They probably come to you, because you give them treats.
Close your bedroom door. :)
