Mosi may be bored and frustrated. There are some things you can try at home. Set aside 30 minutes a day for vigorous play for him. Try giving him a food puzzle or kibble dispensing ball. Hide his food in various locations so he must find it. Try an interactive toy. Try a Feliway pheromone diffuser. Lastly, you may talk with his veterinarian about a trial of kitty Prozac if nothing else is helping. I hope this helps!
