K-Day +2

Panzer slept well last night. Again claiming my computer chair as his bed. He's figured out how to get me out of it so he can steal my place. Last night he had a couple short 5 min time outs for being bad, but he calmed down about 11pm and we fell asleep at 12am. He slept most of the night, with a couple events where he woke up, jumped on me and then fell back to sleep.


He likes his first meal at 8am, or just about that time. Today he came to lay with me for a minute, head butt me and purr. Breakfast was a refill of dry food and his favorite... chicken meat. The wet food goes first and I mean quick. Then after wards he cleans himself and gets some water. Eventually after some play time he grabs a nibble of dry food. That stuff must be good, he really digs into it. I'm amazed that his habits are natural.

The raccoon tail teaser toy seems to be the replacement for the blue rat. He's been attacking this thing non-stop for hours on end. The non-stop energy has found its match!! muhahaha. One hours of this and he's panting like a dog. Two hours of this and he sleeps for 3-4 hours without any fits or crying. Thanks to my wife and her idea to introduce the old raccoon toy (that non of the other cats really liked besides Ninja), we've found some time to clean the house... and eat.

So while I'm on the topic of toys we should talk about what is good and what is boring to this breed.

• Foam Rubber balls = good for fetching and pouncing games. He went through one in 1.5 days so get a few and take the ones that are damaged throw away.
  
• Laser pointer = decent short time play
• Automatic Laser pointer = bad idea. Its too slow and he just knocks the thing over.
  
• Long pieces of rope/cloth = decent for chase and pounce games but watch your hands.
• Raccoon Tail w/ Bell on Stick = best toy yet
• Da Bird feather spinner = destroyed in minutes if left alone.
• Blue Rat dog Toy = works ok, but he just wants to kill it. Once it's dead, he's off to something else. He likes it in the mornings more than at night.
  

To our surprise he really doesn't mind being picked up and loved. It's all of about 10 seconds, but still he seems to enjoy it. When he gets bigger this will not be an option, but for now its cute. He's already learned what the door handle is used for and tried to open it a couple times to escape. Lucky we have round handles or he'd run this place by weeks end.
