I really need some advice on my 10 month old flame point siamese. He’s driving us up a wall. We live in a small effiency apartment (so no doors except the bathroom and the front door) with two cats, the siamese male and a tortie female who’s about a year and a half. We specifically adopted two kittens in our previous apartment in the hopes that they could keep each other company when my boyfriend and I were away at work or school.
With that background information in mind, our problem is this: Monty, our siamese has so much energy, to the point where if we don’t play with him enough(usually 4-5 hours, spread out) for 1 day, he retaliates. He’ll chew on electrical wires right in front of us in a ploy to make us get out of bed, he whines and cries for attention, he tackles our other cat until she growls at him and hides, when we try and lock him in the bathroom for the night, he chews the carpet to shreds, and worst of all, he pees on the bed. We’ve taken him to the vet and he has no problems, and the peeing happens in very particular situations: when my boyfriend is out of town. I work most of the day, so when he is out of town, there’s simply no way for Monty to get his usual 4 hours of play time.
We are really at our wits end with his behavior, and we’ve tried everything we can think of. He even has a million toys, but he refuses play with any of them independently. The only activities he enjoys are going on walks (which we do daily, except when it rains, and it’s been raining a lot lately) and playing with the dangly pole toys with feathers on the end of the string.
Does anyone have any advice on how we could calm him down, at least at night, and stop the bad chewing and pee behavior?
