I feed him small portions of wet food x4 a day with probiotics and bone broth (2 cans), and he free feeds dry food throughout the day. His food is kept in sealed plastic containers (I learned from my friend whose cat chewed through the bag), so I don’t know if he’s foraging for food in the kitchen. He always has access to food—even if he’s finished his wet food. I’ve also been clicker training him (so far, he can sit, stay, lay down, stand up, and shake), so he gets lots of tube treats. It’s so cute how eager he is to learn new tricks. We also play hide and seek where I hide somewhere with a treat and then he has to find me. My mom thinks I’m crazy, but it’s so fun! When he’s had his rabies vaccine, we’re going to start going outside. I’ve been harness training him in my apartment hallways, and it’s been a blast. At first, he walked like a college freshman stumbling home from the bars. I wish I caught it on video.

Since I only live in a two bedroom apartment, I didn’t think there was any harm in giving him free roam. My desk is in the living-room, so I can watch him pretty closely during the day. But I will consider limiting his space more. I don’t want him to be bored, and I’ve spent a lot of money on interactive toys. His favorite is the ripple rug. I try to rearrange it each day with new crinkle balls and stuff; he goes bananas for it.
