I went from a large room and walk in closet to a very small room and closet<br /> I'm hoping to save for one of the climby things that don't take up alot of room</p> <p>and Clover (Sir CloverLeaf) was a year the beginning of this month</p> <p>(he likes paper balls but only if I bat them back at him lol) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18557#post-407330 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:32:37 +0000 Sheba's Mom in Phoenix, AZ 10/8 407330@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Have you tried using Feliway to calm them down? Neutering is a must if you want two males to get along. Also, rub the little one with a piece of your clothing so he smells like you before you let them go together. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18557#post-407317 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:03:36 +0000 CheetahBoysmommy 407317@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>How old is your cat? Are both he and his dad whole (i.e.: not neutered)? If so, neutering would go a long way towards letting them get along.</p> <p>Cats like climbing, hiding in little cubbyholes, and chasing things. You could try putting together some cardboard boxes of different sizes into a stack 3 or four high. Stack them so the openings face different ways.</p> <p>Cats sleep a lot of the time so he may not be as bored as you think - especially if you play pretty vigorously with him in the morning and evening. Feathers or paper balls on a string that you make "fly" for him will use up a lot of his energy. A couple of 15 minute sessions with you each day will go a long way to keeping him happy.</p> <p>Just be careful not to leave the string where he can get it when you aren't there. Lots of cats like to chew on string and it can be very dangerous (sometimes fatal) if they swallow it. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18557#post-407304 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 10:42:26 +0000 ilovecatsforever 407304@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>you could try paper balls ,it always works with my cat but then again i dont know what ur cat likes </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18557#post-407303 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 10:40:53 +0000 Kitty 407303@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I have to keep my cat in my bedroom because his dad attacks him a lot and we can't seem to stop it.. but he is very bored in my very small bedroom<br /> I keep toys and catnip and things for him but my room is very cluttered and things.. does anyone have any (cheap or no $) suggestions to help keep him occupied while I'm busy during the day </p>
