Well, I’m a feline behavioral consultant and all my training in animal behavior tells me he is understimulated.Are you sure the cat isn’t happy? Maybe he is just fine with his living situation and you think he isn’t happy because you wouldn’t be happy in that room.
For a year and a half, he’s seen the same four walls. He sleeps, and then at night he plays with the ripple rug for a bit. He has no meaningful interaction with another living being. Every day is exactly the same.
Cats are social and need physical exercise and mental stimulation. Of course, there is no way to know how he feels for certain, but there is enough evidence on feline behavior and well being to know that this is not sufficient enrichment.
