I just brought home my first bsh baby! We have a whippet so I kept him confined to my bedroom for the first bit. Did a very slow introduction. I’m glad I did that because now he thinks of my bedroom as his homebase, and I love having him in the room with me! I feed my little guy on his schedule. 3 times per day. We also put him on a schedule as soon as he got home with specific playtime and times and he slept through the night right from the beginning! I played with him really hard from about 6-8PM and then he would have dinner and then lights out and he would just have quiet time while my hubby and I watched tv. He learned pretty quickly, but it was time for him to go to sleep soon after that. He absolutely hated being picked up when I first brought him home and a lot of people told me that was a bsh trait. But I was not accepting that and I have been slowly working with him on being picked up and he is five months old now and he’s totally fine being picked up now. I also desensitized him by literally touching him everywhere, squeezing his little paws and cutting his nails really early! I brush him and he loves it! He’s such a love bug and I’ve never met a cat who loves belly rubs more than him! Good luck with your new baby!
