So a couple weeks ago I was offered a kitten and I said NO.....unless you have a little black boy. So I got a ten week old kitten a couple weeks ago. We instantly fell madly in love.
Since I had recently switched the other cats to raw I decided to feed him that too. He took to that quickly and over the last week has started DEMANDING more chunks of food and refusing the other cats raw mix. He wants to chew it himself. Finding foods that he wants is challenging but I am handling it so far. Although I am looking forward to getting him eating about four times a day cause every 2-3 hours is tiring.
Another issue that I have is he is clingy. I work from home and I have to lock him in the bathroom so I can get anything done. He has also taken to leaping from anywhere he is to climb or land on my shoulder. While this is sweet and I love him, his claws are sharp and it hurts. I have bought toys and play with him and this is fine but it doesn't give me much time afterwards cause he has to be back on me. I am fine with being walked on in my sleep and frequent short breaks to entertain him but I can't entertain him constantly. I love spoiling him but I need to use my hands and keyboard for work.
I will be getting a break next week cause he is going to spend the day at the vets for his necessary alterations.
Any good interactive cat toys that are recommended out there? I tried a mouse that runs across the floor but the dogs ate it.
I am getting his sister this weekend to hopefully help distract him. I am also working on adding more cat shelves.
Any other ideas would be helpful.
Thank you,
Sil
