Thought I’d post an update. Hopefully this is my final update on this, and more so, I hope this thread helps out another Kitty. Over the last 72 hours, things really turned around for the better. He has been showing that outdoor behavior when he escaped. Just now, hiding in the closet. He would...

Thanks for that. I put his ball toy in there and he was definitely eyeing it when I’d spin it around. He’s my spoiled baby. He gets 2 cans of fancy feast grilled seafood (all he would ever eat) and has Purina one salmon dry in a free feeder. When I got him back, he was wanting 3 cans a day which...

The 2nd part I used to play with him when I was at the apt. I have a kitty fishing pole he loved. He has a chirping bird toy, and some puzzle toys but he hasn’t been interested. Understanding the timeline of the move. He was here in the new house for only 2 weeks, then escaped. He was gone for 3...

Sorry, I don’t think I made this clear in typed text. That’s the hard part on forums, my bad... when I left for the overnight, I took the dogs with me. I don’t have a doggy door or anyway for anything to get in or out of the house. Kitty was by himself and that’s where I believe the trauma came...

Thank you for the reply. I agree with all of your perspectives and advice. I’m not playing the music 24/7, it’s mostly during my work hours since I’m working from home with the covids going on. Generally he is chillin during daylight anyway. Before his escape, he was a wallflower and actually I...

You all are awesome! All yesterday and today, I’ve been playing the calm my cat Alexa music for him. He’s kinda chilling out a little from that. My diffuser is ordered and should be here tomorrow and that’s great advice on the 2nd litter box. I reverted a little today and put water in the...

Looks like today my whole closet is his safe space. Last night I also read some of Jackson Galaxy’s tips for wallflower cats. I was doing this wrong by leaving water in the closet, and food and water in other places than his eating zone (laundry room). I’ve changed this but still had to go get...

This is all great advice. Thank you so much for replying. He is eating well when I feed him wet food. He just kind of reverted over the weekend and I felt like something happened, but he was in the ac all day. Maybe just got scared being alone? I just checked the litter box that’s still in the...

Had Kitty for about 3 years now and he’s been skittish since early on. In May, I moved from my Apt to a house. Kitty found his safe spot in one of my bathrooms, so I left him there. His food, water, gate, and pillow all in there and after 2 days of moving and family helping, he came out and...
