HI
I got a 12 week old kitten 3 months ago - there was no preparation - the cat was just thrust on me - and my cat of 2 years old - didnt like the kitten because he was a) incredibly playful and bullish b) in his territory. He has never left home but was very confused but came home and slept and ate etc. The weather turned very warm and he was out all the time but ate at my place and sometimes slept here but it was hot so stayed out. The kitten then became able to go out, has been neutered and is now 7 months old. My cat older cat comes and eats here but whenever he sees me he runs out and has stopped sleeping here at night. When it rained a few nights ago he slept here mostly adjacent to the kitten in another box. They play in the garden all the time together as they are both young in the evening - I never see him in the day = the little is very bullish and playful with all the cats that share this garden, ..The older one reserved and frightened - I got him because he came to stay and when the owner returned he didnt want to go as he was being abused I learned this. He a frightened cat and not very affectionate but I love him and am devastated that he has seemed to be sleeping somewhere else = as it has turned a bit cold now. I dont know what I can do = he comes here in the evening and hangs around outside with the kitten but wont sleep here = we give him treats etc. My partner says he will return when it gets colder but I think he has a place to go now and I am really upset that he feels rejected or like his home is gone. Is there anything I can do. I am so sad I do everything to encourage him to come in when I see him daily.....Thanks
