So let me begin by saying I got my cat named Apollo for free 6 years ago off cragslist. He was 6 months old when I got him. When I got him he was very very skiddish. He hid under my bed for the first week, only to come out to eat at night. I just figured that he was scared of a new home. But as time went on he never really broke out of his skiddish-ness. He was afraid of everything, he must have had a traumatic life as a kitten. Over the years he began to trust me a little, not to the point where I could pick him up or hold him. But he would lay on the bed beside me at night. Other than that he runs away from me. He spends most of his day in hiding.
A year and a half ago I moved in with my girlfriend, my cat did not like this one bit. Ever since then he howls and whines all night long. (I think he may be jealous?) We have tried everything to get him to get along with my girlfriend, even just a little to stop the crying at night. But nothing has worked.. My girlfriend is a light sleeper and unfortionally its taking its toll on our my girlfriend and I's relationship. I can't give my cat to a shelter because most people wouldn't want him because he isn't your typical cat and would ultimately be put down. I don't want to put him on craigslist because I've heard horrible stories of people doing cruel things to animals off there. I just want to give him a good home, but I'm in a hard spot, because of he is so scared of everything. Im sure there won't be anyone on here from the Denver area, but I just need help.
