Hey there I'm new around here! Today i picked up my 18 week old Ocicat kitten but my problem is, he is hiding under my table in my dinning room and he wont come out or let me go near him or touch him, he is CONSTANTLY MEOWING! He jumps at the slightest noise and if i get up to move he is very scared. When i was in the house alone he did actually come up to me and sniff me and rubbed himself against me, also i was able to stroke him and play with him. But now, he is very scared again. I only got him at 1:30pm today, but i dont think he has been to the toilet and only had a tiny bit to eat, have not seen him drink yet.
Is this normal?
I am worried. When he was at his birth home he was awesome, he would let me pick him up without the blink of an eye. I guess its just going to take time but its worrying!
My dinning room is quite big and i want to move him into my bedroom as it's quiet up there and smaller, less for him to take in! But i cant pick him up as he is so scared
Anyway, Meet Alfie in his 'safe' place
