So we have a new cat adopted from overseas where they have a tonne of strays. All the stuff it’s doing is totally normal (hiding, keeping me awake at night, flying up the chimney, getting wedged in floorboard holes..).
Since seeing her escapades we have her shut in the playroom and shes been hiding in there. Its been a week since she arrived now and I decided to get a big crate so she can be downstairs with us but not get lost in the house.
She totally freaked and scratched me and DH to bitS when I tried to put her in it.
Should I Just Block the holes then let her have free run of the house? I feel like I may have to But I’m not sure I can cope with not knowing where she is hiding at all times, whether shes even alive, or managed to escape, or whether she will Still eat and drink blah blah blah.
I’m finding it all more stressful than a newborn baby! At least they don't go anywhere for a few months!
