Garfield's Diary by Wildlifecalling(m): 1:01pm On Nov 03, 2021 |
This is a thread dedicated to my Kitten Garfield, I'll be sharing his growth here as well as pictures every week. I'm only going to be updating the diary once a week so here's to hoping that I can be consistent enough with this 2 Likes |

November 3, 2021 I went to pick up Garfield from a friend, he gave me a carton box with the kitten inside. I remember a lady on the bus I took back home looking at me all scared and funny cause she heard meows from the carton box.

The first few days were literally hell. Garfield put me through a lot. He first hid himself under my TV stand and refused to come out or eat or drink anything while I was present. Not to mention the crying, he cried a lot and very loudly too, especially at night and early morning. I thought I was going to go crazy and I received a few complaints from neighbours about the noise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=031ruQnzY4I 2 Likes

I knew I had a handful when I noticed that he didn't want me coming close to him and even running away while hissing whenever I approached, also didn't help that he didn't even make use of his litter box and was going potty on my TV stand . On the third day of bringing him home, I was woken up by extra loud meowing sounds at around 3am. Oga climbed up my curtains and stranded himself on the curtain rod. He kept meowing so loudly but he still kept on hissing at me whenever I brought my hand close to pick him up. Finally managed to get him down after being bitten and scratched (luckily I wasn't injured). At that point I was just tired of the cat and I considered returning him but I decided to persevere... 1 Like |

After that night, I decided to annoy Garfield as much as he was to me Anytime he cried or meowed I mimicked him and it kinda worked? At least he was quiet most of the night and then something unexpected happened. I woke up to discover a certain kitten huddled up next to me and sleeping. He woke up a few minutes later and I successfully pet him for the first time ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ 2 Likes

Now that I had him warming up to me, my next problem was the lack of respect for my TV stand and kitty proofing my room. For that I just thoroughly cleaned the TV stand and hid all small objects that can be swallowed. I monitored him a lot and after he eats, I take him to the litter box. He kept coming out until finally he used it and he's been using it since then although he makes a mess of it every time, scattering sand everywhere. My favourite thing about cats is how easy it is to potty train them and their neatness. Nothing can really compare. 2 Likes |

Feeding Garfield isn't as stressful as I thought it would be cause he readily eats everything we eat. Sometimes he prefers the food on my plate to the one on his plate, meowing at me to give him my food is cute and all but it's not going to work Garfield Here's a few photos 1 Like

So, Garfield started scratching literally everything, from my feet, the furniture, and even my TV I decided to clip his claws today and it was a struggle as you might imagine... Long story short, 40 minutes after I started he's tired and so am I. ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ 3 Likes 2 Shares

Hi all, It's been a busy few days and I couldn't upload, nor have I been able to spend much time with my boy I noticed that his hunting instincts have started kicking in cause he stalks and pounces on ants he sees on the floor almost every night, and it's not limited to just ants, he hunts every little thing that moves (my toes included) but luckily for me I've trimmed his nails and he doesn't bite hard at all. I'm thinking of getting a female to keep him company soon 2 Likes

Wildlifecalling: Your kitten is lovely. You're also lucky that he eats almost everything he sees you eat. Mine is just something else, he refused to eat any food due to the fact that I got her after few months. See her below

Cryomancer:Happy New year Your kitten is so cute � I love his/her coat. Also, do you know what food it was used to before you got it? If you do you can be feeding that, or just do what I do and slice beef or fish and mix with whatever I'm feeding, at first they'd select the beef and fish and leave the rest but with time they'd start eating everything. Would love to keep in touch on WhatsApp if you don't mind? |
