hey folks
I got an adult indoor cat about 10 days ago that needed rehoming. Her previous owner told me the cat was quite timid.
When i went to see her she was timid, (she needed rehoming because she was not happy living with a big dog!)
but
When i brought her to mine, to my surprise she took to my flat, and me so well i could not believe it, as i was expecting her to hide under the sofa for a few days! From the first night i got her she slept on my bed, came to me loads for fuss etc, the only problem was that she was a bit off her food (but she was on antibiotics then).
Fast forward 10 days or so, and she seems like a different cat... quite timid, scared of sudden movements, hardly eating (she'll eat dry food, but i have not given her that lately as when i did give her it her poo was full of dry bits!,
and im concerned in the hot weather it might be too dehydrating). Or, she will eat a bit of the wet food if you take it out if the bowl and drop it on the mat!
She does not sleep on my bed (or in the day now either) the past 3-4 nights or so, actually she spends most of her time under my bed, i thought this was to keep herself cool since its been very hot.
She will jump on since last night for a bit of a fuss then jump off to back under the bed, not staying on.
So i dont know if its the weather, or we had visitors on fri night, and i dont think she liked the noise/lack of space, invasion of space etc! (she's not brilliant with new people apparantly)
Any suggestions on what to do please?
Thanks : )
