I have posted here previously about a feral cat I have taken in. At first he was very freaked out by everything, but we slowly got him to the point where he would come into the house and we were able to shut the door behind him. He was starting to come in every night. However, we had visitors for a week and in that time our cat seems to have reverted back to being somewhat feral. I had him in the house one morning when he first met the visitors. He completely panicked, running for the windows and trying to crash through them. I finally caught him and let him outside. He did not come in the house for the next 5 days while the visitors were there. If he saw the visitors outside, he ran away. Now the visitors are gone and he still acting very feral. He is not wanting to come up to me very much. He lets me pet him for a second and then he is off. He refuses to come in at night. He is not acting like the cuddly cat that loves attention...the one we worked for months to get to that point. Are we now going to have to start all over trying to tame him again? And will we ever get to the point that he is a domesticated cat and okay around visitors? I would love to hear of your experiences.
