one of my cats is terrified of everything and i don't know how to fix it. he spends almost all day in my/his room. the top of the cat tree is the only other place where he feels safe. he's sneaks around behind the furniture or right next to the wall if he's walking around the house, never out in the open. any noise will make him run to the room to hide. he freaks out most of the time when my family gets close to him and either runs away or crouches in a corner if there's no way to flee. he does that with me too but not as severely and i'm the evil person who takes him to the vet and has given him meds. he only runs away from me half the time i see him. he doen't wear a collar because he freaks out when he wears it. we have a closed off patio but he rarely ventures out there and then only if i go outside too. but in my/his room he comes and cuddles and isn't scared at all. also, he appears to be the more dominant of my 2 males.
i don't know what to do to get him to be more confident.
