We are recently retired seniors, with three cats and two dogs. The cats are 15, 2 and 18 months. The older girls are settled and seem content. The youngest is the issue. He was a feral kitten, born at our vet’s. Lovely boy and he has grown into a solid (22 pounds!) healthy handsome critter. He is the most interactive of the three but sometimes,this is not good. He doesn’t interact with the others. What he does best is create havoc. We cannot leave anything out. He will clear tables of all objects. This includes mugs of tea or coffee, and he cares not if they are full or empty. He climbs, he plays with a huge variety of toys, he plays with the younger dog. He does not show any interest in going out which is just fine with us! I prefer indoor animals. But his scratching is driving us nuts. Furniture, carpets, and the worst, doors! We had new interior doors installed last year and his mission is to destroy all of them. He has scratching posts and he does use them, but mostly the doors. And at night! Why, I ask, is he noisily scratching doors in our bedroom? I thought he wanted attention and was bored. We play, we feed, we cuddle, we get nowhere.
P.S. I also do a lot of crafts, especially with wool. His favourite thing after the doors, is destroying whatever I’m working on. He can unzip bags to get at the stuff.
And we love him to bits. Sigh.
