@DumaLove I forgot about these things. Great advice, thank you. Will be ordering these today.

Hi Abby! Glad you and Odrick are doing well. Don't give up on the toys he doesn't like now, my boys have a weird habit of not playing with new toys until they've been around the house for awhile, and suddenly it become the favorite. My guess is that it has something to do with how they smell.

We got a free dog rope toy with a purchase recently, and Ninja went insane for it. Just a thick rope with a knot at both ends.

That makes sense. I will be sure to not throw anything away!

A scrunched up piece of paper, a cardboard box, a drinking straw can be more fun for them than store bought toys.
:X3: Of course!! All my years of cat ownership and I forget this simple thing. I'm trying too hard to impress my kitten that my cat logic has gone right out the window.

He is so stinking cute! I'm so glad to hear how well he is settling in, and that his vet visit went well. Looking forward to more videos in the future!

Thank you all! He really does love me.

I'm super proud of myself too because I kitten-proofed my room so well that he literally cannot get into trouble LOL!

Yeah... right... That appears to be a Savannah you got there..... I'm calling 3 months and you will recant that claim!

That being said, you got a great kitty! Enjoy!

Remember... I told you you are in for the ride of your life. Seems like you're hanging on.....!

@SV Dad Thank you! He is so great. I know he will be a little troublemaker in a few weeks time. LOL but it's pleasant right now.

He is not very good at jumping yet. I have a high bed & he can not make it up there with me unless he climbs on the cat tree first, then jumps to the bed. For some reason, though, he doesn't always remember that trick and tries to just hop up and misses. I tried to explain to him to go to the cat tree first but he doesn't always listen..

Did all of you sleep with your kitten? This has been the only thing that I've struggled with since Odge came home. Our night routine is as follows: He eats dinner at 8PM. The we play hard with the feather wand & his kickeroos until almost 9. Then, he passes out & I read my book for a little while before I go to sleep. Around 12:30, Odrick is up....and I mean UP! He is running around, jumping on my head, tugging on my hair :lol:, nipping at my arms until I redirect him to his toys. Once I'm fully awake, I will play with him since sleep is futile at that point. This goes on until 1:30 (almost on the dot) and he falls asleep purring, like a sweet angel. The auto feeder feeds him at 2AM, he wakes up to eat his snack & then goes back to sleep. I don't know if he wakes up throughout the night after 2AM because that's when I go to sleep with Kali on the sofa to give her some cuddle time too (and to actually get some sleep).

I was just wondering if you guys actually slept with these crazies when they were little & did not sleep on your schedule? I remember when Kali was a kitten, she was like that as well but she was not quarantined to my bedroom. She would run around the rest of the house and I was still able to get some sleep. But Odrick is trapped in the room with me. And when he runs, it sounds like a wildebeest. I swear I can hear each paw tramping the ground when he runs across my (fake) wood floors. I thought cats were supposed to be quiet & stealthy by nature LOL
