Back story:
I haven’t had a cat in over 15 years. So the last time I had one, as usual at that age, my parents took care of her and she was an outdoor cat.
I’d been getting that craving for a four-legged companion for the past year or so and saw an adoption event going on at my local shelter. I went there to look at one of the kittens I saw online but then saw my perfect kitty: a boy, black, medium hair. He’s the most BEAUTIFUL cat I’ve ever seen. And he’s not even all black! He’s more like a DEEP chocolate with sporadic white hairs and gradient gray patches on his tummy! His tail is as long as his body and he’s RIDICULOUSLY SOFT. I’ve only had him since the end of August and still can’t beleive he’s mine.
His name is Nouveau and he is going on 7 months old (fixed 10/2017) and he is an absolute spaz in the mornings. He zooms everywhere, runs all over me, knocks everything off the night stand, climbs the curtains, paws at the window which rattles the blinds. When I reach to pet him he rolls over or pops off the bed and takes off. All the while purring, chirping or making little kitten “mews.” I’ll admit I haven’t been the best at his morning routine but I’m working on it. And I’ve read that in most cases they will eventually grow out of it. But is there anything I can do in the interim? At night we have a great routine and he lays down with me and we both go to sleep. He doesn’t do anything during the entire night. At least not that I know of which is great! I am not a morning person but he seems most unhappy in the mornings. And I want my sweet boy to be happy!!
Any tips? How about that Feli-way spray?
