Hi! If you’re new or relatively new, here is the longest video yet where I give you a mini house tour and answer a couple of frequently asked questions.
I was so focused on a couple things I forgot to point out the many cable covers and outlet boxes, the tin wainscoting and a few other Potato proofing items. But hopefully you get the idea of what it is like and what it looks like on a normal day at home with Potato.
He even followed me about as I did this so that was fun! (Please forgive the sudden cuts but it get harder to edit when I talk since I am not an expert at this 🙈) I did close caption though! 😅

Nice. My guy just uses my bed. Only that bed. We have a heat pad for both of us. He generally seeps on me or under the blankets. Uses his cage for food.

Did he ever chew a cable? (That would be my fear… gnawing on electrical stuff…)

Oh how come he has a heating pad? What did you put around the cord to prevent chewing?

He is so smart, I wonder if you could train him to use an automatic cat toilet?

Very cute. I’m sure he’s very happy, but I’m sorry I’m just saying he’s for sure not house trained. I can see anywhere you’ve found him go to the bathroom you place pads there but my guess is you’re probably often putting down pads in new spots because he probably pretty much goes wherever. I mean he pooped in one of his beds with all those pads everywhere he still just went where he wanted to go. 🤷‍♀️ Some animals just aren’t meant to be kept inside and domesticated, don’t get me wrong I’m sure he’s very happy you have a cool set up but just the peeing and pooping everywhere I couldn’t take it, obviously you can and thats cool I just wouldn’t want to be constantly changing out all those pads and then finding surprises in other places and poop you can see at least but I am pretty positive he has peed in random places that you may not have found right away and the pee seeps in the floor and just ugh .. I can’t. You’re gone is pretty clean and I’m sure you clean up after him as best you can and like I said he seems very happy .. but there absolutely has to be a smell and you just get used to it like anything else but I couldn’t deal with that.
