Rough day!

Even with how good he's been Wyatt had a rough day today. First he kept getting into the wires around the entertainment center, trying to chew my mouse cable and just generally going places he wasn't supposed to. Then when he climbed up in my lap he turned around and swatted me in the face! I have several small scratches now and he spent some time in time out. Then he tried to make an accident behind our entertainment center. Everyone has bad days, even kittens. So he spent some time in time out, a while at the end because he was having such behavior problems. He took a nice nap and when he woke up he's been much better all evening, which is good.

With feral kittens you have to keep in mind that everything they're learning is new. They haven't spent time around people, and in cases like Wyatt's, they don't have a mom around to show them the ropes like domestic kittens would. Plus since he doesn't have siblings he's having to learn all the play boundaries with us and my two calicoes  This means there is a bit of a learning curve that a kitten from domestic stock just doesn't have to deal with. Luckily feral cats are often very intelligent, they have to be to survive and he is learning so fast! A bad day once in a while is still to be expected though. And it's had to stay mad at that little face as it is!

On a side note Wyatt found his tail today and also met the vacuum cleaner! The tail was hilarious! I tried to get pictures or a video but I never could grab the camera fast enough. The vacuum meeting went about as well as could be expected, he ran and hid and was pretty terrified, but that's most cats, including most of mine. Except for Theresa, not sure why but she likes to chase it. Maybe she'll be a good example for Wyatt and show him there's nothing to be afraid of. Here's more pictures of the little devil!

Oh Hai!
