So Schofield has been in his enclosure for about a week. He never tries to run out, even if I leave the inner door open.
He received a clean bill of health from the vet, other than round worms. He got Revolution and medication for the worms and his Distemper booster. He slept for most of the first few days, only coming out to greet me when I brought his dinner.
He is obviously annoyed at something now and has swatted at me a few times when I've tried petting him. He's always loves being petted but on his terms but has never actively smacked me until now. His tail twitches all the time.
I've put all sorts of toys in there for him and have observed him playing with them. Bells, balls, catnip mice, etc. I can't put the shelves up for a few more weeks, although I plan a trip to find a picnic table or some other sort or "high" place, just so he'll have an observation point.
I spend about an hour with him total during the day, just visiting, feeding, scooping, etc. I know it isn't much but it's all I have right now.
If I had any idea about his "other" life, I would have more info. I don't know if he visited human or feline friends, although I do not think anyone else was actively feeding him. He's too thin.
So my question is - can anyone think of ideas for stimulation for him? Maybe I just worry too much but I don't want him to be unhappy.
Thanks everyone!
ps Cardboard boards are out as there's no place to keep them out of the rain.
