Just made a second bag, both cats are up in the window area licking the first one. I know I will probably have cat litter all over but oh heck, they only live once.
Note to self, put organic cat litter from Walmart on shopping list for next week!

Just because you have other animals for him to play with doesn't mean he isn't having separation anxiety from you! Do you have to leave him alone during the day? You did rescue him so he might be looking at you as his mother and having two mothers abandon him might be more than he can swallow (although sounds like he can swallow drywall, lol!). Anyway, that's my Cat Psychology lesson for the day, meow!

this sounds like he's detected a "lady friend" when he was outside and wants to go "play"

Mr. Speckles chewing a hole in the wall is going to turn into being a good thing. I was talking to him a while ago, asking him what would be better, wood panneling half way up the wall, then a decor piece then either paint or wallpaper. He of course meowed, I said oh so you approve! This opens up a variety of different things for that room.

To repair drywall..smooth the sides of the hole but let the fronts be a little bit wider than the backs. Cut a piece of wood or cardboard a little bit bigger than the hole, put two small holes in the middle of it. Put a strong string or shoelace in it and tie it in front.

Slide this behind the hole and put a long piece of wood or knitting needle through the string and tie it till it holds the backing in place. You could put some glue on the wood so it hits the wall around the hole it so it will stick.

When glue is dry, start putting on the glop of whatever you want or can buy to fix it up. Smooth it till it matches the wall, but just a little bit out from the wall. When dry, remove strings, sand it down, and if necessary to fill hole the string left, do this now and when IT is dry, repaint.

I've done it several times with our many years of large, powerful Dobermans who playfully ran thorough the house and knocked large pieces of furniture against the walls.
