July 10th 2008 my dad brought me a little kitten they found in a car at dealership. He was burnt fairly bad but made a great recovery outside some wheezy nose noises I wonder about. Regardless his personality was so mellow and quiet I didnt hear him cry once when he was isolated in the bathroom for two weeks and he slept quietly when he graduated into second room at night for 7 hours because we played like mad for hours before.
The last three or so months though he's become more vocal and abit of a terror. He is destructive at night knocking everything down, tries to get into the garbage no matter how creative I get, chews on his mouse toys enough that he is vomiting up all over from the fur so I just threw those away. I try to do about two hours of play sessions through out the day but alot of times he is so lazy or bored with all different toys I am the only one getting the workout. Outside of the destructive behavior at night he just sleeps by me and basically lives to eat.
I cant figure out if this is typical kitten behavior that will pass or if I am denying him by not having a playmate? How do you tell? I am around alot. He is ten pounds already, way over matched for a newcomer and I just fear finding out he doesn't want one and never getting a moments peace again. I dont think he knows proper interactions with another cat as he likes to use his teeth alot though my yelping has made it better. With kitten season coming up I guess there is no better time for a test run but most folks getting rid or selling cats just want to be done with it.
