Hi -
I have posted a bit here with I first brought Pixel home... and he's doing great - even with his heart condition...but he is a "solo" cat... I work from home, so I am home most of the time... my question/plea for ideas is about play.
I know he's a kitten and needs to play - but he has a TON (literally - my house looks like a toddler lives here) of toys - some interactive, some just balls, some in every room.... And I do play with him at least 2-3 good sessions per day - like getting on the floor with him and batting his toys around with him etc. Lately he wants to stalk me - he never truly "attacks" me, but when I try to work or do something else and he's frisky - he will NOT shut UP until I play with him..... and if I ignore him (read on another post that would teach him that he can't meow me into submission) he will purposely run around and try to do things that he KNOWS he isn't supposed to -and I know he knows because he will look right at me before he goes for the blinds or tries to get into something I told him not to....and see if I will come stop him - which means we're playing....
And lately with his toys (feather rod, mouse rod etc) he isn't that interested when I try to play these games with him - he wants ME to wrestle him or chase him. I am not that old but lordy I can't chase a cat! Sheesh....
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
