Hi, have recently adopted a five year old British shorthair from an ex breeder, assuming she was kept outside in a large cage like the other cats were when I went to pick her up. My partner and I brought her to her new home on Friday evening and straight away she went into hiding. We did then did our research and first we put her in the bathroom with all her water,food and kitty litter but then realised it wouldn't be the best room for foot traffic so we put her carrier out and she went in and we set up the spare room for her sanctuary room. Going in there every so often to sit on th floor and just talk and sing etc; still in hiding managed to go up and let her smell my hand and given her a few pats but she still scared and not eating.
The last few nights she has been meowing, talking at our bedroom door even at times coming in but mainly just sitting in the door way watching us sleep. I call out softly to say it's ok and out on some cat soothing music which seems to help and tried to get up to comfort her but she ran away. She's is starting to hide in every room of the house but still not coming up to us. This will be her fourth day in her new home so I know it's only early days. I just want to make her transition as nice as possible and want her to know we are going to be loving parents. Does any one have an advice on why she is crying/meowing right near us at night? And any tips on ex breeding into a new home or British short hairs.
Thank you!!!!
