Mad Cat

What is it with cats are they all mad? We have now had Toby (not my choice of name) three weeks and the more he settles in and goes stir crazy the more mad and hyper he gets! The vet said we can't let him out until he has had his second round of injections so for two more weeks he will use up all his energy dashing around the house like a mad feline, at the moment he is jumping on top and getting behind everything he can to explore including the tv and computer with their mass of wires and important connections he keeps pulling out.

I have been trying to keep him distracted by finding him things to occupy his mind, but that usually involves me getting up and playing some daft game with him and getting clawed in the process. Like the four inch scar he put down my arm the other night! His best toy up to now involved a piece of string that he would just chase around, as long as I walked around with it behind me, but now I have found a new toy that sends him mad a laser pointer, oh what joy to send him scuttling back and forth through the room or up and down the stairs while I sit back and enjoy a nice, ice cold beer!

Which reminds me it's Friday, night so it's time to go open a nice cold one. Hope everybody has fun and has a great weekend.

    At the other end of things I have a rather old Siamese who is slowing loosing her mind. Cats can have a form of dementia so I found out, and she is well on her way to it.

    Laser pen has been giving our cats fits too, mheh.

    Have you tried crumpling bits of paper and giving that to him to play with?

    Mick - give my beer to a cat, now the wife drinks Baileys!

    Doanli - he loves shredded paper so I will give that a go as well.

    I'd've thought that removing his nuts would have calmed him down a bit. It would me. But cats usually mellow out some after neutering. Maybe he's not as old as you thought and there's still some 'kitten' in him.

    I have that very scar on my left forearm. I was taking our cat, Harvey to the vet, and stupidly didn't put him in a cat carrier. When we got to the vet, Harvey realized where he was and ferking freaked...ripping my arm open. The vet had to treat me before Harvey. Best damned cat I ever had!

    Took our cat to the vets for the first time and he was really good, he has a really good cat most of the time!
