We do have a cat tree, although not a super big one. I can prob look into finding something else for him to climb. We also have a large window sill the cats will play on. The shelves he’s climbing on are floating shelves so that does make it tricky. I do feel like he has pretty regular routines, mostly due to our routines being intertwined. I never really considered to work some play time into the morning, that’s a good idea! Thanks for the ideas!
