Provide lots of toys and maybe a cat tree or two and he should be happy.
As usual Jen, VERY well put and Donna, I couldn't agree more with your statement, as I thought the same thing.

I have 6 cats that love to sit and look out the window. It doesn't mean that they are unhappy or want to go outside at all. They are all happy and contented cats because they get plenty of toys and playtime to keep them that way. Interact with your cat, give him lots of love and you will have a happy cat.
