My cat Gray is too scared to leave my room. He stays under my bed from the time I wake up till I go to bed to sleep. Our other cat Marty constantly attacks him whenever he sees Gray. Marty is the reason Gray never leaves my room. For about two years Gray has been living in fear of Marty. Marty will sit outside my room waiting for Gray to leave my bed to get a drink of water or food in the cat bowls in my room and when he does Marty chases Gray back under my bed. Gray has bad anxiety and my mother calls me Grays "security blanket" because Gray only comes out from my bed for me and only sleeps with me. Gray is a little scared of everyone else in my house. We have tried a few things to help Gray from confining himself in my room, but nothing really works. If anyone has an idea to help our situation please help.

Thanks for the video. When we brought Gray into our house we brought him into our basement. Marty and our other cat Simba only really go down there for the litter box. So they would occasionaly bump into each other with little problems. Gray would come to the main floor for food and water. Marty wasn't that bothered by Gray at first, but not that long after Gray became Marty's target. And Gray eventually moved upstairs into my room.
