Hello, 7 weeks ago I decided to adopt a cat that had been abandonded nearby. A couple was feeding him and using my humane trap we were able to trap him. I put him in my guest room and he hides under the bed during the day. I have 3 other cats, who maybe seem a little stressed, but are otherwise...

Further update: Oliver now seems like all my other cats, if a bit jumpy. He lets me pet him and scratch his belly and he's always happy to see me when I wake up in the morning. It took a bit for him to get used to me petting his tail. I'd pet him from head, down his body, and then lightly run...

Well, I forgot to wrap this up. Oliver is out and about and has free reign of the downstairs and occasionally goes upstairs. He calls for me and shows me his belly. He's really cute. Here's a pic from just now: Once again thanks for @Ondine, @Susank521, @Ritz, and @dsue. He and Rogue even...

Update: @Ondine you were absolutely right. He runs in to the bathroom when he gets scared and otherwise he scurries from hiding place to looking out the window. He seems happy, but he's still nervous around me. I'm thinking he expects me to try to chase him. Anyway,the only thing that worries me...

@Ondine, what do you mean by "secure the basement hiding places"? If you mean to block them off, unfortunately, that's impossible. Also there's no way to separate part of the basement, also unfortunately. I was thinking of putting the other cat house next to the couch where he usually hides...

@Susank521 - you're right there's no cat on that picture :( Sorry, I got my pictures confused. My concern is that Oliver seems to hide immediately. Two days ago, I opened the door and he walked out within a minute. I came out of the bathroom two to three minutes later and Oliver was under a...

@Susank521 -- great memory! The bathroom is as you described. The rest of the basement isn't under construction. Oliver has been introduced to the other three cats. The first time I opened the door the other three came in or came close. And the second time Oliver was hiding and being freaked...

HELP!!!!!!!! Oliver does want to be out of the bathroom and walks out confidently, but within a minute is hiding under something. This happened two days ago and just now. Just now I had to turn over every piece of furniture downstairs and it took over three hours to get him back in his bathroom...

Okay, I need some advice. Oliver has been doing great. Now he comes out his house almost every time I'm in the room. He's going to the far side of the bathroom, near the door. Here is a picture from the front door to the bathroom: And here's a picture from the chair. You'd have to zoom in a...

I got eye squeezes!!!!! Two days in a row! On Wednesday he leaned his head far enough out of the cat house that I could see his head and when I told him I loved him I got a big eye squeeze! Same thing next day, but with less of an eye squeeze. Question, can you eye squeeze too much? I worry that...

@Susank521  , excellent deductive skills. Sorry to make you use them. Yes, I cut a whole in my bedroom door 11 years ago, rather than leave the door open and they've been going in and out through it ever since. I have a 50 pound box of salt I could block the hole with, but I'm sure my cats would...

More good news. He's started calling for me again occasionally. And the last time I was in the bathroom he came out of his house and peaked over the sink tilted on the floor and me for 30 minutes or so. So we're making progress. Now that he's not keeping anyone up, are there signs I should look...
