The last few days our kitten has been getting a LOT more vocal, especially when I come home from work. He sprints around our apartment and meows. So far it hasn't been a constant thing but since we've had him he's been a moderately quiet fellow (except for when he wants us to wake up in the morning).
We're not sure about his birth date, but our estimate is that he is 5 months this week (22 weeks). We know that it's give or take a couple weeks.
I can't tell if he is being more aggressive b/c he has always been a wild child and in my opinion he's settling down a tiny, tiny bit.
My schedule changed 3 weeks ago and now I'm out of the house for quite a few more hours a week, and at least 4 days I leave for significant chunks of time. This is supposedly a temporary schedule and I'm hoping to be working from home full time soon.
Boba is an indoor cat, but he always follows us out onto our balcony/deck. Last weekend he jumped from it to the ground (2nd story deck).
My question is, could these be signs that he is maturing early? I don't want to have him spraying around our apartment, obviously. Right now he is scheduled for an appointment the beginning of May (5 1/2 months old on that date).
Or, do you think he is just bored since he has so much alone time now (I try to play with him as much as possible while I'm home and my husband helps with this, too)? He's always been high-energy since we've known him.
The vet said if he started showing signs of aggression/spraying that I could reschedule for an earlier date, but I don't want it to get to that point.
