ok i know what i signed up for when purchasing a bengal and understanding their unusual behavior. we have had gizmo for since march 15th (11 weeks) in which case he has been neutered in that time and calmed down a bit since that. i have read here that it takes about 2 weeks for a new addition to get used to our routine, but he still is causing mischief at night when it is supposed to be bedtime.
Is there anyway to train him to sleep when we sleep? it seems to work when we've got him panting and breathing hard after a Da Bird session but not every night is feasible for that and I don't want him getting sick of it if I do play with Da Bird every night.
The thought of locking him in a bathroom with a litter box has crossed my mind but my bf says thats mean, but only getting 4 hours sleep instead of 8 is mean also!
we live in a 1 bedroom condo so the only doors that close off to a room are the 2 bathrooms, the bedroom and part of the kitchen. So the only room big enuf to put a litter box in with him would be the kitchen but we'd have to buy one of those accordion folding door thingies... ideas anyone?
on a side note, ever since we brought him home he has always used the litter, and then he started spraying and we decided to get him neutered. well this morning my bf woke up to put on his work clothes and looks like Gizmo decided to pee on it since he is the only one who goes behind the tv where my bf puts his clothes... any suggestions?
p.s. he sure runs away fast when we squirt him
