I think Micki hit the nail on the head so to speak. Sounds like Kamble is very sharp, and that's good... and bad in a way! "Bad" because he will quickly learn ways to try to get his way, and try to outfox Mommy while she's busy! You just have to try to convince him that his negative behavior is not going to get the results he's aiming for, which is your attention!

The only other thing I would add to Micki's suggestion is that if/when he IS laying quietly and entertaining himself that those are the times you might break off what you are doing for a few moments to praise and give him a few scratches.

Best of luck to you and Kamble. It sounds like you have a special, smart and sweet little boy
