Hey, I'm Tim and I'm new here. I recently got my own place (no roommates) and decided I needed some company. The cat in my avatar is the guy I adopted. He's an 8 year old long haired tabby (?) and he is super sweet. He licks my fingers when I pet him and loves just being around me. Whenever I make dinner or do dishes or anything around the house he follows me and meows at me. It's cute but it makes me think he's bored.
He's perfectly content when I'm just petting him or sitting next to him. He also lays in my bed with me the entire night as I sleep. Whenever I stir or wake up he looks over and gives me a soft "meow" which I love but that's pretty much all he does. Sometimes he wanders around the apartment which, at the moment, doesn't have a whole lot of stuff in it. He is an indoor cat (previously declawed) and I live on the 4th floor so he can't really go outside but I just wish I had more things for him to do when he's here and I'm not. I spend about 10 hours away from the house on my workdays so I'm sure he gets lonely. My rental agreement will not allow me to have any more pets. He seems to get stressed around other animals anyway.
He doesn't like toys but he does seem to like to explore. Any suggestions on things I can build or purchase that would occupy his time when I am not at home would be greatly appreciated. I keep music on when I'm not there just so he's not in complete silence but that's about all I can do.
