Haha, I know what you mean! I was so tempted, but she normally fixes it herself, so I thought I’d see how long this would go on for. She had a whole nap like that :lol:.
For anyone interested-I’ve been away from the forum for a while but she’s well and truly settled in. We took away the 2nd tray gradually, and there were no more accidents. I’m posting photos of her antics here: Pumpkin 🎃
We adopted Pumpkin back in August 2019, and it was the best decision of our lives to date. Here’s how she’s getting on. I took the photo of her being combed just now-she’s so funny 🤣
Hi, and congratulations on your new cat!
Having recently rehomed a similar aged cat, I can tell you it will take time. Follow the advice of others on here and let him take it as his own pace. When you spend longer with him in his safe room you can try reading aloud to him, and going about some...
Hi, thanks for the reply. I know she was using just one in her old home, and has no problem peeing and pooing in the same tray (she’s being doing both in both of hers here). Unfortunately we can’t move it down the stairs slowly as upstairs we only have two bedrooms and a 2x2ft hallway before our...
She’s really comfortable with us now. She still doesn’t come into the living room when she is alone (we have a camera to check), hopefully that’s just because she’s busy sleeping/playing upstairs. Despite this she’s using her tray downstairs happily now, preferring it to the one upstairs (which...
Thank you! She was originally Smudge, but she didn’t look like on to me. We called her Pumpkin for various reasons-colour, cute name, I love Halloween and Pumpkin is a character in Memoirs of a Geisha.
You’ll find the UK has changed a lot in that time, mostly in good ways. I’m sure the same...
Thank you so much, all of you. I’d never looked at forums before with my other cats (I was too young!), so it will be great to mix with a cat living community!
Hello all!
I posted a thread a few days ok so some of you might have seen me around, but I wanted to officially introduce myself and our fur baby. I’ve grown up with cats since the age of 8, starting with a local farm cat that adopted us when she was abandoned, then after that we started...
Last night was pretty good. She came out of hiding about an hour after we went to sleep. She had a drink, ate some food at used her makeshift litter tray (hooray!). She gave us loads of headbumps and showed her appreciation with lots of purrs. She slept with us all night and played with my...
Hi, thanks for the response. Keeping the cat in one room until they acclimatise isn’t actually very common in the UK, and all my previous cats have just been let out to explore. This cat was similarly released to explore her foster home, which was much bigger than ours. All my previous cats have...
I will definitely post a pic when I get a good one! The box is quite easy to find, as we are living in a small two bed mid-terrace house. Not sure where we'd put another one, but if it happens again we will look into it! Thanks for the advice.
Her name is Pumpkin. She is still hiding, but in very close proximity to us. She slept overnight as well and ate some of her chicken, which is a good sign. Hoping that she'll come out and explore again while we're at work. In the night she came onto the bed to give me a couple of head-bumps, so...
Thank you so much! Thanks for the articles also, will definitely be having a thorough clean!
No pets in this home at all. My previous cats were family cats at my mum's house.
