hey peeps,

was wondering if there is any "toys" that i can find around at home that are safe enough to give to my IRN. or any thing that i can create. she always seems to be bored with something very soon & end up screaming the whole day..

i gotta do something quick to stop her screaming.. so worried that my dad gonna send her away. some of you should know that she is a flown-in from previous post & a real toughie.

she has been a real meanie all this while compared to my lovies but i really love her since she is part of the family.

please help me. thanks :wink:

They love plastic hair clips but they have a pin in them so you have to supervise play.

AND

a spoon with anything on it... peanut putter, jelly, anything that will stick without you having to hold it.

AND

a shewer of fresh fruit or veggies.

They love to eat and play. To be able to eat AND play puts them in bliss :!:

thank you all peeps & a very happy new year!

the funny thing about my IRN is that she is cautious of anything foriegn.. most afriad of stick like objects.. when i introduce a chopstick once, it would bow & back off or act defensively.

most probaby past owner used stick like objects to reprimand her.

only thing she loves is paper. & she actually destroys them in a rage, as though there is a grudge :?:

the shrilly screams are getting worse. only time she keeps all down is when my dad place her in a dark store room but i feel so sad for her.
but when i go to see her to see how she is doing, the screams come back.

i do not think the screams are to show anger/rage but she is just too loud & we are afriad that neighbours will start complaining.

by the way, she can say" quickly go out" repetively & meow really well like a cat. guess taught by past owner. was wondering how do i teach her to mimic again. does not pick up any speech from us.
