I must be crazy.  My neighbors daughter talked me into taking her siamese
kitten, about 4 months old maybe 5, because with her job she didn't have the
time.

Now I haven't had a kitten around me since 1980, since then I have taken in
fully grow and more mentally stable felines.   This gray pointer is bouncing
off walls, tearing up the computer cables, and tempting fate by
attacking/playing with the 16 year old male tail and trying to trip up his
rear legs.  I honestly expect to find the kitten dead today because of his
playful nature.  Leo, the old male, is very quiet, very docile, and finally
threw paws at the kitten this evening after dinner.

So any hints on how to calm him down or is he in the terrible two's stage of
life?
