Hey Guys
I have a 7 month old Himalayan that I have had since he was 7 weeks old. He is a super social cat, very playful and used to love chasing foil balls, or play with interactive toys such as fishing poles and ribbons across the floor.
He also used to love cuddling and kneading.
Recently, I got a 3 month kitten in the house. The 2 get along great, constantly playing with one another, grooming etc.
But, when I come home and try to get both of them to play, the kitten always gets in the way and this prevents the older one from playing. If I run a string across the floor, the kitten gets all excited and jumps up and down and this causes the other one to just sit down. He has lost all interst in foil balls, mice, and his other toys that he used to play with.
He stills eats, drinks, wants the occassional cuddle, but he is more mellow. He was always very vocal and still is, whining and moping around the house.
I have had the kitten for 3 weeks now. On top of this, I have had to change the older boy from kitten food to adult food due to weight issues. Will he snap out of it or is this his 'adult' behavior.
I live in a small place so I cannot really lock the kitten in a room and play with the older one...
