Hi, I am after some advice. We adopted a cat a few weeks ago. He's about 3 but has been living rough for some time apparently.
At first, he seemed to be settling in OK - using the litter tray, coming out of hiding in the evening and he even let bath him. But he seems to be regressing - he has bit both my seven year old and I! He has had a traumatic few days with the kids having a noisy sleepover last week (he was too scared to come out use his litter tray so pooed under the sofa) and a fraught trip to the vets on Friday (I was so scared getting him in the box, I had to wear gloves!) so I have banned the kids from playing in the playroom where he is hiding and have put his litter and food in that room too and we are giving him some space....but the little sod has been and pooed on the bathroom floor!
Obviously, it will take him some time to settle, but he seems to be getting worse! Any advice?
