Hi Cat Lovers,
We adopted a 12 week old kitten this week from the Cars Protection League. He came home with us on Tuesday.
How timid is normal? He hid for the first day, and only ate when I placed his bowl in his hiding spot.
He's been exploring the house in the evening since then, but only when the kids are asleep. He seems to be getting bolder (sniffed my toe and played with a toy I dangled for him) but he hides all day! Doesn't eat all day (but fine at night) and only uses his tray at night.
He poo'd on the stairs earlier because I think he was scared to come down to his tray with the kids running around and didn't know what to do. I really feel for him.
Should we leave his tray and food upstairs where he likes to hide? Or should we keep it in the same spot downstairs in the hope he comes out? We haven't seen him this evening yet which is a shame. Poor little guy.
Any tips on helping him feel more comfortable?
Thank you
