Little Midnight is all settled in already
I can hardly believe it, we only brought him in a few days ago(15th August) and I had this whole plan laid out where he'd be secluded and Matt would his and snarl and get depressed, and we'd have to constantly reassure him that he's top cat.......but I guess having the kitten born in the back yard and hanging out on the porch took care of that phase?
The met quite by accident after I got him home from the vet and put him back into his bathroom but forgot to lock the door behind us....Matt dropped in to say "hi" and steal some kitten food. Since then it pretty much happened a few times a day until Matt got mad at me for locking the kitten up, so I let him have it. He follows it around the house sniffing it, but doesn't like the "friendly" tail...he keeps his down as a rule and it tickles his nose lol!
I got tired of Matt stealing the kitten food, so last night I exprerimented with feeding them in the same room....and aside from having to pull the gluttonous runt off of Matt's plate and show him his own...it went great! Matt didn't even complain about the fuzzball on his plate Kitten eats more when he eats wet, and I'm supposed to fatten him up, so I'm going to feed both boys 3x daily on wet food.(with some dry in a bowl to suppliment kitten) Matt doesn't like waiting for bedtime feedings anyway.
I'm still locking him in bathroom whenever he's not under direct supervision, and at night, when I put Matt in the basement. but he gets a few hours a day now to wander while I watch.
What can kittens play with? Matt likes paper balls, but wouldn't a kitten eat them? He destroyed my bath poof that I forgot was in the sink...must have got bored overnight lol. I thought of making him catnip pillows, but how big? I brought out the laser pointer, but Matt saw it from across the house and ran him over ran him over, and now he's afraid of it.....Matt's 14-15lbs, and kitten is 1.1 so I'm thinking play has to be one on one
