He had a rough day. I picked him up one hour away, from my mother who had picked it up earlier yesterday. It spent an hour at her house, kind of exploring, then it was wisked away on 1.5 hour car ride, to here, where I live. He hasn't come out of hiding.... all but a couple times, when I haven't been around (I could tell he moved right back under something, but had been out). He lets me pet him, as long as he can stay under something... When he gets out, he acts skiddish- and his body is very streamlined. He moves very close to the ground, as if scared (understandable)?
Will he break out of this, do you think? he seems calm when i pet him. He seems to like being petted on the ears (still while protected in an unreachable spot, such as underneith a bed, a couch... etc)... he even lets me touch his paws. I almost had him out, about 4 hours ago... he started coming toward me, as I spoke to him, and layed with my head to the floor. I thought maybe my size might intimidate? I dunno..
He was brought from a pet rescue, where he had been living since he was a kitten. he had been found under someones car hood, trying to keep warm. who knows how they found it.
Supposedly he's a really nice cat though... should I worry that he won't be able to adapt? I've never really raised a cat that I haven't had since it was a baby.
Any tips on making him more comfortable? Thanks!
