Update: Things are progressing pretty well. He's calling down. Acting more like a cat instead of trying to escape constantly. He's grooming, playing on the cat tower...I've been hiding treats at night that he finds. I got him a feeder toy hoping that would occupy him, but he ignores it. I'm...

I'm feeling discouraged. I know it is going to be slow progress but I don't know what the cost is going to be to try to tame this guy. He's very smart and determined, he also climbs everything, even jumps on top of my 8 foot high windows. He scratches and bites at my windows to get out each...

OMG.......progress today. He moved from his safe spot to a shelf behind a small box (more visible) I took the chance and petted him briefly....he hissed a bit....but when I withdrew he meowed at me....I came home for lunch and ate in his room. He came out from hiding and sat and watched me. If...

It's a week today since we trapped my little guy. He seems more comfortable. I have a webcam now so I can see his habits. He holds up on my desk shelf with a storage bin in front of it. I can't see him at all. Should I take the bin Away so he's not so hidden? He still doesn't eat in front of...

So he is only active late at night when I'm sleeping. I feel like camping out in his room... is that too crazy?

So things have been going pretty good. Pepper is using the litter box regularly and eating. He won't come out when I'm in the room yet. I clean, read out loud, even do a little work throughout the day in his room. I left the light on last night so I could observe him from outside when he's...

I got the feniway difuser yesterday. Not sure how it will work. It seems his only goal at night is trying to escape. I wish I could see what he's doing in there.

Ahh. She's beautiful. So nice to hear the success stories.

Is catnip a good or bad Idea for socializing my guy? I don't really understand it. I hear it can make them go crazy or calm them? Should I try it? Maybe the happy feeling will make him associate that feeling with being here? Any thoughts, experiences?

I have tried canned, he didn't touch it. I did give him a mackerel this morning, when I went to change the litter he scarfed it down. I haven't been able to get close enough to him yet but when he comes out more I will try that. That's a great idea about the duster...... He did use the litter...

I'm going to remove the blinds today

2 nights down....last night was a little calmer. No accidents, he ate the kibble and it looks like he used the litter box. One strange thing though he got the tassels down from tucked at the top of the blind and chewed them up. None of my cats ever chewed anything up? Any thoughts on that? He...

Thanks for the encouragement, I think I will wait a bit before letting him in the rest of the house. I'm afraid he will hide and I won't be able to find him. Right now my grandkids are living with me for two more weeks so I think it's best to wait anyways. He's been pretty much sleeping all day...

So my little guy had a very active first night. I have 1 book shelf in the room with paperwork... that was all knocked off. No big deal. I stupidly left a blanket on a chest, he knocked that down and peed on the blanket. But it does appear he at least stepped around the litter boxes. There were...

Awesome. Thank you!
