I moved into a new apartment with a friend of mine. I have two female cats, she has one male who's still pretty young. My cats stay in my room most of the time and keep away from the male's food and litter box. But he keeps wanting to come into my room and use their litter box and eat their food. He barely touches his own.
I've told my roommate it's because he doesn't feel safe in her room and that she needs to get him a cat house or something to hide in and feel secure. He also likes to hide under my bed since he can't hide under my roommate's - she has a blow up mattress.
Please help, he's putting my little girls under a lot of stress by invading their space and it's making getting used to him that much harder. What can I do to show him where he needs to eat and do his business? I don't want to keep him locked in her room all the time, but that's starting to seem what I have to do to keep him out of mine.
