Cat neutering myths?!!

They warned me he wouldn't get big jowl if I neutered him at 6 months instead of 10. Fast forward to 15 months: he's 6kg of long legs, athletic build, and stunning odd-eyes. Who needs chubby face when you’re literally a supermodel?

my BSH boys are cuddly

I think i got super lucky! i got 2 BSH boys 3 weeks ago and they both turned out to be cuddly (one way more than the other though). mozzie lets me hold him like a baby for minutes and even lays on my lap voluntarily. churro only does it when he's sleepy but super happy with both of them!

Some coming home photos of my little guy, compared to now.

3 months old when I got him. He is 7 months old now and supporting my desk work fulltime. The chubby cheeks just are starting to come in.

I’m going insane

My BSH is 1 and he has been driving em insane for the past few months. He meows non stop and I assume it’s because he wants to be overly stimulated because we left him out (MONITORED) once or twice a day to get some sunlight.

We did leash training but it’s too dangerous as when he gets scared he runs and he’s almost choked once, so we just grab him when it’s time to go in.

Now he meows non stop day and night until bedtime and he won’t play with his old favourite toys or run around, I am running out of enrichment ideas too.

It’s beginning to give me anxiety because he’ll do it while I’m in meetings or on the phone or a migraine, I don’t know but it’s to a point I’m so anxious I cry about it. I can’t play with him 24/7 and I can’t get a second cat, it’s not financially possible for us to afford insurance, food etc I tried to calculate it and I also read it doesn’t necessarily help. He also does not seem warm to another cat, he hisses at any he sees near us even the sweet cuddly ones. Any ideas?
