Marcus has been officially diagnosed-by me-after nearly four months of close observations. He has Attention Deficit Disorder (although I think that in Sphynxes, it is so normal that we really cannot call it a disorder).
Marcus' symptoms include the following: it starts around 6:30 every night. He has to have all his toys scattered around the living room. The battery-operated undercover mouse toy must be turned on, and he prefers to have Cleo in the room too. Daddy must also be ready with Da Bird. Then he goes from toy to toy. First it's the undercover mouse, then the Heart Attack, back to the mouse, over to Cleo for a wrestling match, then it's time to launch himself off Daddy's foot to attack the undercover mouse again, then it's time to attack the kitty house, then Cleo again, and so on. In between playing with Cleo and the toys, Marcus wants to play with Da Bird. All of this goes on for more than 2 hours every night! If the undercover mouse or Da Bird are not out, he wants to play with the spinning wheel and fireplace, which are off-limits.
Our cute li'l boy is by far the busiest kitten we have ever had--and that includes Cleopatra! Are there any other ADD kittens or reformed ADD kittens out there?
Here he is, looking innocent with Sydney.
