A few days ago, I picked up Smokey, and he was understandably freaked out after a 250+ mile car ride. I showed him where the litter box was, filled the food and water, and left him alone, aside from checking in on him to talk and pet for a half hour a day.
He basically spent the last 3 days here under the couch, I dont think I ever saw him leave and he didnt touch the food or water from what I could tell.
I remembered that he's basically spent his whole life in a basement away from people, so today I decided that he shouldnt just dwell in a deep dark cat-cave 24/7 or he'll just get accustomed to it. All his hiding places are now blocked off (under the bed, couch, closet) I figure that its ok if he wants to stay out of the way over by the coffee table, and I'm giving him his space till he gets used to the new home.
What do you all think? Right track, mistake, suggestions?
