Just as the title says...I feel my 12 month old Bengal doesn't get enough mental stimulation. This is mainly because I am gone ~12 hours a day, from 7am to 7pm. Then once I get home, he goes crazy for hours and hours on end. I understand that this is just how the breed is, but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how to get him some kind of mental stimulation during the day. Does anyone know of toys that I can set to turn on/off throughout the day while I am gone?
Once I am home, I give him the attention he wants and play with him. Ill toss his toys for him to fetch, use the laser pointer for him to chase around and pet him for as long as he wants. But I can only do this for so long until I need to go to bed.
Along with this, I am convinced he has been peeing outside of his liter box because he does not get enough attention. He did have crystals in his urine several weeks ago, but that has been taken care of. If I can't find some way to help him be active during the day, I feel like I am going to need to re-home him.
