Over the last few days, Baxter has started to sometimes get the zoomies, and to my delight, start playing with some of his toys! I'm so happy he's starting to be relaxed enough to have playtime.

Over the last few days, Baxter has started to sometimes get the zoomies, and to my delight, start playing with some of his toys! I'm so happy he's starting to be relaxed enough to have playtime.
Baxter Explores His New Home
Outside of being a bit fussy about getting into the carrier and being lugged-around, Baxter didn't end up being a pain in the ass to get home. (He didn't freak out or get sick. Win!) It was a bit of a long drive (after a can of food before that) so I wanted to get him out of his carrier so he could get water and/or potty if he needed to.
I discovered that Baxter is one of those cats who won't be satisfied until he's explored every nook he can get to, but once he's explored an area he generally is done with it. (With the exception of the upper-cabinets, where I keep his food/treats.)
Especially with the loud kitchen cabinets, I ended up just opening all of them so he could see/sniff what was inside. Especially for his first day, I wanted to give him as much free roam as we were both comfortable with. We're already working on boundaries on where I am and am not comfortable with him being. (And he's been a good boy, except for hunting for food.)
He found his litter enclosure/box, water fountain, dry food, and all of the toys. He also found and explored a hidey-ring that I found on Amazon. Generally, I've found he's not too interested in the toys or even the hidey-ring I got. (Yet.) He's also not interested in really using any furniture to his benefit. I'm willing to bet he hasn't had a solid opportunity to be a house cat until now.
We had short bursts of interactions before he'd go back to exploring. It wasn't too long before he heard the birds outside of my second-story window. I can imagine, especially come Spring, that's going to be his favorite spot. I'm already planning on getting a small table that can handle a fluffy cat bed.
