    He loves the sunny spot in my room!

    Oooh, I’ll check them out! Thank you :•D LOL claaaaassic cat. I love it when people get pictures of their cats in motion, something about the blurry-ness always makes me chuckle.

    He was thankfully already chipped when I adopted him. I am unsure how he would feel about the outdoors, but I plan on keeping him an inside kitty. I might screen off the balcony but since it’s on the second floor, I don’t think I’ll let him out 😭

    What a wonderful name and equally wonderful cat! And my goodness, I didn’t properly introduce my little grandpa lol. His name is Jacob! Thank you for the compliment, your bed looks very cozy and warm!

    He loves the sunny spot in my room!

    Back in April, I had posted about my struggles with making sure my new little family member was comfortable. He was fearful of the new place and would hide every chance he got. These past few months he has shown great progress. He is still skittish but I feel he is warming up to me and our...

    Adopted 8 Year Old Cat, Unsure How to Proceed

    Ohhh, okay. Sometimes I’ll look to see if he’s looking at me or if he’s interested. It’ll definitely be difficult to ignore him but I can find a nice activity to keep myself distracted! A puzzle sounds like a great one too. Thank you very much :–D

    Adopted 8 Year Old Cat, Unsure How to Proceed

    He’s a little ninja for sure! That makes sense! I read that some people had their cats approach them after a few hours or a couple days after they had brought the cat home. Aiya, I thought I was doing something wrong! Thank you for the bathrobe suggestion!

    Adopted 8 Year Old Cat, Unsure How to Proceed

    That makes sense. I’ll keep his door closed from the rest of the house then! I’ll open up his access to the bathroom again so that he has another place to jump up to. Yes! Before I first saw him in the sink I had thought he had gotten out somehow. Then I turned around only to see him peering...

    Adopted 8 Year Old Cat, Unsure How to Proceed

    It’s the same. :-0 He doesn’t move and sometimes will blink at me. With the box, I can tell he tenses up but again, he simply sits there. I have tried to offer a squeeze treat but he doesn’t seem to care for it. Same with regular treats. He will stare at me and I’ll put the treat down. The next...

    I haven’t tried a chair yet. I’ve been sitting or laying on the floor and speaking to him. I’ll try that out as well as putting the food bowl near me. Thank you for replying :-D

    Adopted 8 Year Old Cat, Unsure How to Proceed

    Hello and thank you for responding! After his bath, I had closed the door to the bathroom as well as the door to the rest of the house just in case. I’ll keep spending time with him! Usually when I slow blink at him, he’ll blink back. He spends most of his time either in his tree or tucked...

    Adopted 8 Year Old Cat, Unsure How to Proceed

    Thank you very much for the reply. In his room, I have his cat tree that has perches and a little cat cave, his crate with an old shirt in it, a few boxes that I’ve cut some entrances in, and a couple of big teddy bears that he seems to like hiding under. I will do just that! It must’ve been...

    Adopted 8 Year Old Cat, Unsure How to Proceed

    Thank you for responding! His name is Jacob! When I pet him, he sits still but looks at me with wide eyes and dilated (his pupils are big) pupils. I have him in a separate room but have left the door open so that at night he may venture out. Sometimes I’ll leave treats out in places I know...

    Adopted 8 Year Old Cat, Unsure How to Proceed

    Hello! I have recently adopted an 8 year old Ragdoll mix cat from a local shelter about 4 weeks ago. I have been taking it slow but I have seen no progress other than seeing him in new hiding places. He can tolerate getting pet but I do not pet him because I think it stresses him out. One of...
