    New Cat From Shelter

    We do have a tom cat that hangs around so I can check outside to make sure there are no markings . The other thing I thought of us , he could be smelling Binks since he lived in the basement with me as well. I did thoroughly clean the basement and I bought Charlie a new litter box and all new toys .

    Here is a bad picture of Charlie ! Since he is in such a small bathroom it’s hard to get any photos of him.

    I have the couch and crawl space blocked off. Last night I picked him up and he stayed cuddled up with me and licked my face few times . I’m going to leave the bathroom door open today and see if he wants to come out . I think you guys are right and patience is the key .

    Thank you so much for your reply ! I do think Charlie has been through a lot . It must have been traumatizing to go from living with the same family your whole life and suddenly living in a shelter and now you are somewhere else . He seemed calm at the shelter and while he didn’t come up to...

    Thank you so much for your reply and for your condolences! I really miss Binks. I will check out the thread and read the articles for some tips that could help. I would hate to take Charlie back. I appreciate you taking the time to read my post.

    New Cat From Shelter

    I lost my beloved cat Binks about a month ago to IBD. I adopted Binks when he was 3 years old and had him for the last 7 years . He had a lot of health problems on and off but I loved him very much . When I was 24 , I had to have a hysterectomy and he was an amazing companion. His death shocked...
