I'm a bit worried I messed up somewhere and I'm hoping someone might be able to give me some advise on how to fix it.
When I first got Mai Sai I "met" him in the cat playroom in the shelter. He was playing with two other cats. When I took him home, he was happy and loved to meet new people. Now he runs and hides when new people come. Did I do something wrong with this? Should I have had him meet more people? He doesn't even seem to have as much interest in meeting new cats...Is there something I can do to fix it?
He used to be a very snuggly cat, sitting right next to know while I worked and whatnot. Now while he does like being in the same room, he tends to sit a bit away on the floor or loveseat. Now this isn't a all the time thing. At about 5:30 he will come and lay on me, or on my head and purr up a storm looking for love. This last for about half an hour. Aside from that he will only come up next to me when we are playing or he is getting a treat. I have to admit I miss having him close. Did I do something wrong? I do play with him atleast once a day for about half an hour. Is this normal or is the bond just not as strong anymore? Is there a way to bring things back?
Thanks for listening to me whine, please let me know if you have any ideas.
