I am a brand new cat owner. My adorbale little kitty was adopted last week. He had been living with all his little brother and sisters his enitre 9 months of life. He's been nervous, understandably, dashing from hiding place to hiding place. I realize it's a new adjustment. And I also realize it is going to take some time before hs is completely comfortable.
So we set him up in the bathroom, which is huge. I bought him toys, a bed, and a scratching post. He doesn't move all day long. At night, of course, he is active. I grew up with cats, so I know they wander at night. But the past 2nights he begun to scream. Cries for hours. And there is nothing you can do. He is not screaming at the door, or trying to get out. I know he is scared. But I have no idea what to do about making him more at home.
When I spend time with him in the bathroom, it takes some time, but he does come out from behind the toilet. He wants to be touched and he genuinely wants to be around me. But then suddenly something sets him off, and he runs back into hiding.
Any Advise would be better than what I already have... which is nothing!!!
