How long are kittens usually very boisterous?
We have a very friendly 12 week old kitten and my, he's hard work! We have an 8 year old cat, who was considerably easier when young.
He does sleep, mostly at night, and a little in the day, but he is up and down curtains, snd just about everywhere else, and wants to play fight quite a lot, including with our poor 8 year old cat. We have to separate them often, as the older cat seems to get harassed, and will eventually retaliate. We shut off the cat flap as he'll try to follow him out, and is desperate to have a look out.
The vet calls him "a confident kitten ". He's been bought a box of toys snd I have a couple of young people around who play with him too, when he wants it, but we are all getting worn out!
I'm looking forward to when he is older and can go out to play just for a bit. Obviously that won't be for a couple of months at least, as we'd hate to lose him or see him come to harm. And anyway the vet won't spay him till he's 5 months.
Does anyone have tips on how to manage and amuse him and also views about when to risk him venturing outside in the longer run? It's not that our house is too small for him; it isn't.
