Hi all,
Here I am again reporting on my very mischievous kitten. Yesterday he jumped from our dresser to the drappery and brought everything down with him. Didn't get hurt by pure luck.
He is now fascinated with the drappery. The living room is good for climbing, the bedroom ones are good for pushing around and apparently to jump on.
It's like he wants to reach the ceiling. We ordered a big cat tree so he can be high, but it will take a week to arrive, so until then we will have to try and control him. And i'm afraid when it arrived he'll jump from there (1,80m) to the ceiling!
I feel he is bored, lacks things that chalenge him. However I am at a loss to find toys or games that he would like.
Bruce is not at all food oriented, so snack games and puzzles will not grab his attention. In order to engage his attention, there has to be movement involved. But we cannot wave a wand at him 24/7. And even if we do, we need to change wands, as he eventually gets tired of the same.
We tried moving objects, doesn't work. The BB8 robot that I thought he would find amazing does not engage him at all.
He doesn't like boxes. He doesn't go for stuffed toys.
He has every toy you can imagine, but at this point it's wands or his mouse, which he tosses around for 3 minutes and leaves.
Then he roams the house and meows. Constantly, like he wants something to do and doesn't find it. I feel like a failure, because I cannot provide him with what he needs. And I feel guilty because he maybe needs a friend and I cannot afford to get him one.
Or it's just an age thing, I don't know.
Here you can find him on our dresser (try to see black in black, he can hide in plain sight).
Thank the Lord we're going to the weekend house today, so there will be new things, and drapperies, to explore.
