He is ! He comes out and follows me while I get ready for work and hangs out when I get home playing and relaxing on the couch. He started eating with us as soon as we put out wet food. He lets me pet him and even gets belly rubs. It's so great. He's pretty much a normal cat ! He still retreats...
Thanks ! Glad to hear about your progress as well. I'm sure it's way harder with so many kitties. But seems like time patience and lots of effort will win them all over eventually :)
Wanted to share another update in case anyone is following. Simon is doing much better!! We still got some way to go but lots of progress has been made.
10 days ago Simon had an accident. I woke up and I smelled poop under my bed. Checked it out and Simon had diarrhea. This happened in his...
So its been just about 4 weeks now and Simon is doing good for the most part. Been consistently playing with him while hes under the couch for the past 2 weeks and giving him treats. The past couple of days i take out his wet food right after play time and feed him some from a spoon. Trying to...
This is Simon! Last night we had an intense play session with his mouse he kept knocking it around under and out of the couch and I push it back to him and he'd snatch it and play and then shove it out again. He was so into it he stuck his face out and both paws even though I'm sitting right...
So I wanted to post a bit of an update. Simon is making a little progress getting more comfortable here. It's been two weeks now and he has a new favorite hiding spot- under the couch . I was surprised he fit himself under there but there is actually a lot of room once you pass the small opening...
I think he's gonna adjust. He is brave at night! Last night he explored the house I got up to pee and saw him sleeping on the couch so sweet. Eventually he ended up back under our bed- found him there in the morning. He at and used his box. He's a cutie. I'll try to upload a photo !
When I made this post I was freaking out because I am a control freak and things werent going as planned with this kitten. But I realized I just need to chill out. Bf calmed me down a lot. I appreciate the advice from everyone and it's awesome what you did with your cats. I'm just gonna stick to...
Actually my bf used to have 2 cats living in this apartment. (Belong to his roomie). They moved out before I moved in. I wonder if borrowing one for a week would help Simon. Both of the cats were good and very comfortable in this apartment. One of them is like the perfect cat ...will hang out on...
I definitely don't want another cat ...can't afford it and one is stressful enough. Also I don't want to put him in a crate. Keeping him in one makes me really uncomfortable. He has free range in my apartment which is pretty small (500 sq feet) and his own very small room. Actually he hissed at...
I have always loved cats and wanted one of my own. Finally my bf and I decided we were ready and searched for the right cat. We decided on a Russian blue because they are better for people with allergies (I have allergies but they are mild ). The kitten is a 4 month old male we decided to call...
