Hello,
I was hoping for advice on my cats. We took on 2 cats from a family friend, in December and they're both still absolutely terrified of us!
They are eating, drinking, playing and using the litter tray perfectly fine but spend most the their time hiding! On the off chance I do see one of them "out in the open" - i.e in the living room, they will immediately run away and hide.
They weren't mistreated in their previous home, so I'm not sure why they are so scared here.
We are currently keeping them indoors, until they have settled in but it just seems to be taking such a long time. I'm starting to feel like they will never settle!
I have tried feliway in the past but didn't notice any different in their behaviour, however I have ordered a refill and will give it another go.
Does anyone else have any advice? Or experience in this?
Thanks!
