Hello,
2 cats moved in with me a week ago. They are full grown and one has had kittens. They are sisters and strongly bonded to one another. They were outdoor cats who were fed and then brought inside by their previous owner. They stayed inside for approximately 3 months. Both cats were comfortable around her. They have been fixed, gotten their shots and are microchipped. I had 2 rescue kittens before but they adjusted quickly and Im in new territory here.
Like I said they have been with me for one week and are in a bedroom with the door shut. They have a cabinet with a hole cut in the side that they are holed up in. They are eating and using the litter box and there is evidence they are playing with toys I've left in the room. I havnt seen them out of the box yet. I change their water and clean the litter box every morning at 9am. THey have a constant supply of food. They have a nightlight and pheromone diffuser. Before I enter, I knock and tell them Im coming in and I sing babyish songs to them and speak in loving baby type talk.
Also, their previous owner cam over the other day and she wanted to check on them and so she opened the top lid to see that they were all right. The one was hidden under a blanket and the other looked terrified. Should I let her do that again? Im afraid that may be terrifying for them and slow down the process of getting used to me and the space.
Am i doing all the right things? Im concerned that I still havnt seen them outside of their box.
I appreciate your feedback and support,
Kevin
