K-Day +3

The adjustment is going very well. Panzer is crying less, and playing more. He seems to be really interested in the other cats and their cat tree. So much that he mimics their actions and constantly looks to get their attention and approval. They however are not as amused and keep their distance. Ninja, the youngest cat seems to like him the most. I think he connects with him because they are similar in behaviour and interests. Lunch meat is one of the interests.


Over the last 4 days my wife and I have noticed that he needs more nap time and it's best to initiate that by laying down with him. He doesn't like to be alone so its best to just close the blinds and lay on the couch until he lays down and sleeps. This helps with his temperment, and his energy levels. The only comparison I have is to a toddler that is over tired. They are not fun to be around, and a nap will make all the difference.

When he's out with us in the main part of the house he is very interested in getting to know his new home. Inspecting all areas in detail and revisiting these places to play, hang out or just review. Already I can tell that he's comfortable because he naps on the couch in the living room when he has free time from his quarantine. He requires 14 days quarantine from the day he got home, but with other cats and his curious nature he needed some time to explore with supervision. This seems to stop the tantrums from happening and allows us to get some work done around the house. However at night he sleeps with me in the room alone without other cats. Feeding times are also seperated from the other cats so he focuses on eating and gets personal time with my wife and I. Eventually he will be out with the rest of the gang but he's too little and it's not time for that just yet.

Like most baby mammals they require lots of attention. We can't really leave him alone for long without him freaking out and crying for us. It's good to keep in mind when looking into this breed, versus a domestic kitten. Panzer really responds well when he feels safe, and that means being home with him and within site. Sometimes he gets lost in a room and we have to save him because he gets scared. The other cats could gang up on him if left alone so unless he's in a room protected there is no leaving for the store. However unless he's sleeping locking up the beast is not a good idea. Lucky the wife is home to care for him when I work. If your wondering what might happen *if* he's bored, read my previous posts. Mr. Furry Pants has very sharp claws and can create trouble in ways you would never imagine.
