We have no cats kathleen, it's a different cat. But the one with the green eyes was here not too long ago. And the green eyes have never been green, for some reason. I've been thinking about his name for the longest time. It's an interesting name.
We did this for about ten days - she was so little then. We stopped doing it when he got too big and was eating like crazy, or at least as much as an 18 month old would eat. I didn't really know what he should be eating then. We started giving him treats then, just because he was so hungry and I wanted to know if he would get so excited and start jumping and chewing the treats too fast. We had a lot of treats and a lot of them, and I was afraid he'd just eat them all, but he didn't. He was very patient. He even took a few seconds to decide if he wanted to take a treat, and then he would only take a small one if he did decide.
Once he's gotten past about a month, he's started eating everything I put in front of him, and we can really see a change in his appetite. He's gotten so big that he's actually a bit of a ham now, I think.
But he doesn't chew on anything when we're not watching him. He's been that way from the start. I can't say if it's a true pedomorphosis or not. Either way, I don't see why it would be in your cat. And I'm pretty sure it's not.
Well, my first cat, when he was about 6 months old, he started looking like a wildcat when he was eating. It seemed like it was a natural, instinctual thing. He really did act like a wildcat, his claws looked sharp, etc. But his owner knew that he had his food down to an art form, so we assumed that his owner did it with him to teach him how to eat in a controlled way.
My current cat, the one I mentioned in the other post, was about 2 weeks old when he started eating from a plate. And when he got the chance to eat without any human attention, he did so. He never had a single bite in my arms, but as soon as I put down food, he'd take a few bites and then look at me with his mouth full of food. It's like he got hungry again after not eating for a while.
I'm not trying to start an argument or a discussion about the whole pet versus wild thing, because I don't know all the facts about that, so if anyone wants to get into that, feel free. I was just sharing some of my thoughts.

I remember you sharing the fact that you felt his presence and instinctive behavior, but didn't question it. The fact that he ate out of a plate as opposed to food out of your arms, was interesting to me. There's a bit more discussion on that here

He had a little bit of play with my brother once. He just kind of snuck up on him and gave him a quick bite of the leg. My brother has always been kind of slow when it comes to figuring out how to play with things, and this was the first time he had play-bitten.

That's not very long ago at all! I would be interested to hear about what you have heard about how to introduce a puppy to a dog that is the only other big dog that they will see. Because most of the experience that I have in this situation is with someone who has either been a puppy raiser, or someone who raised their dog from a young age. I think some of the advice I heard is that you should introduce the dog to the puppy in their crate or if possible in the dog's sleeping area so that the puppy can get used to seeing him in his natural environment. Then the person is supposed to place the puppy on a leash and not restrain it until the dog is used to it. Then they can start letting the puppy run around and play with the dog, etc.

I heard that when she first got him and they first brought him home he went CRAZY the first time they let him out. So they were advised to keep him contained in his crate. Then let him get to know each other, walk around, play, etc. When he got use to that she could take him out, maybe give him some commands and let them run, etc.

They let mine run. She started slowly and then built up to it. As long as he was under control they were able to have lots of fun. Eventually they would do like you said and keep him contained. But if he was having a good time they would keep it up. I think some dogs have less of a desire to run around. This one, we didn't train him to run, he learned on his own. That's when he got out on his own. So, if he had an interest it was usually with some sort of toy. One of our friends even bought her an expensive collar so he could play with it.
