Four days ago I adopted a cat who was supposedly rescued off the streets by his previous owner. She said he is very sweet.. Since I got him home he has done nothing but hide. He wedged himself between the hot water heater and the wall and couldnt get out. A friend had to literally drag him up the water heater to get him out! He refuses to eat, drink or use the litter box. I do have another cat but he is very social and loves attention. The new cat, Lucky, is now in my babys bedroom alone with nowhere to hide.. His food, water and litter are in there as well. My baby doesnt sleep in her own room yet so I figured that would be a good room for him. I check on him often and always talk to him and pet his head which he seems ok with. Both myself and my oldest daughter have been scratched while rescuing him from getting stuck in his hiding places.. Hes on the fat side. How can I get him to relax and not hide? I am pretty sure he was abused because he is afraid of everything. My husband keeps mentioning rehoming him but I refuse. that will only make him worse. As far as Im concerned hes home.. His forever home. I just hate seeing him like this. What can I do?
