I have two beautiful little kittens, Lily (My little Lady and born huntress, 1 y. 2 Months) and Fynn (fluffy ball of chaos, ~7 1/2 months). They get on really well, play with and groom each other.
However, since recently (maybe a week) Lily seems unhappy as she is making unhappy mewing noises (she is neutered, so definitely not in heat). Play gets her exited and we play every night with them after we get back from work which makes her stop mewing for a bit, but it does not fix it as it starts soon after again . They are indoor cats as we live on the 2nd floor with a big street right around the corner. I know she is interested in the outside world and would be fantastic in hunting down all kind of things, but I can't let her out, it's too dangerous here and job wise we can't move. Fynn seems very happy, but then she has a different character to Lily (Drop a coffee bean on the floor or make her a blanket cave and it makes her day!).
Since she is mewing this much she has been less cuddly as well. I am not sure why, if it is more entertainment she needs or something else. She has also now decided she does not like her favourite cat food flavour anymore (poultry). We usually get a good quality brand in 4 different flavours (We live in Germany now, so the brand won't tell you anything, but it is good quality food, I did a lot of research).
The only thing besides entertainment and wanting to got outside I can think of is, that she might be missing her buddy Robin. He is my mums outdoor cat. We lived with them for a while when we moved to Germany and we adopted Lily during that period in wintertime. During winter he does not go outside (he is basically an only summer outside cat) and they love each other. When it got warmer and he started to leave the house again we got Fynn, as Lily was missing company. Then, I finally got the job I was looking for and we moved. Robin is with us when my mum is in holidays and vice versa. This was the situation in September/Oktober for us. First Robin was with us for nearly 3 weeks, then my two where with him for 2 weeks.
I was planning on getting them a little bird feeder for in front of the big window, now that winter is coming, so they hopefully have a "live bird-tv". They already have a floor to ceiling cat tree, nearly 3 meters (9.8 feet) tall standing at the living-room window, a cat tree in the bedroom and a Xl scratching barrel in the dining room. Do you have any tips in entertaining indoor cats? Maybe even something for when we are at work over the day? They do have a active fun board where you can hide treats in, but they are both very smart, agile and thin so they get the treats out faster than I can put them in. It's hard for me to see my little girl not being happy. I don't really know what it is that Lily is missing/wants. Medically they are well looked after as my mum is a vet. Any tips would be much appreciated!
