Hi There,

How long have you had the Devon? I'm wondering if he might have been taken away from his mom and littermates too young so that he was never properly socialized. Or if he was possibly raised without littermates, or raised in a cage without stimulation.

I think the best way to start getting this boy to play is by using interactive toys. Most cats will go for the laser toys and the fishing-pole type or toys on a wand are also popular. I would go to a pet store and look for toys that the 3 of you can play with together.

If you have had him for awhile and he has always been quiet, it's possible that he just has that kind of personality. I'm hoping that he has been examined by a vet since you got him, but if not, it would be a good idea.

Take care, and please keep us updated.

Regards,
PHKitkat
