My almost 2yr cat Ransom is scared of everything.
He'll be in bed with me and I sneeze and he runs for his life. Loud noises, knocks on the door and even us coming inside will have him running till he realizes who we are.
Before I got him he was with people who had lots of kids and they fed him Lima beans most the time because they didn't think it was important to buy him food. He was left abandoned when they moved and my mother broke into the house to save him. He was covered in fleas to the point they were in his eyes. He was about 4mos old at this point and was very happy to come live with me. I know him being so scared has to be from the first 4 horrible months of his life but I thought he would outgrow this.
I'm not sure what I can do to make him feel calm and relaxed. I have two other cats both female and he gets very rough with them and makes them cry out.
I was thinking of getting one of those vest or plugins that claim to calm them but idk if they actually work.
I just want him to feel safe in his home here.
Any advice of similar stories would be great.
Thanks
