    Kitten still hissing and terrified after over a month

    Hello all! Another update, probably my last one, and a very exciting and happy one!! About a month ago, Boogie started becoming bolder and learned he loved to sit on our lap while we were watching TV. The first time he actually jumped on my lap I was so shocked I tried so hard not to move at...

    Kitten still hissing and terrified after over a month

    Hello! Here are some updates: - Boogie is still very jumpy but will tolerate cuddles when he has just woken up. Any other time, he runs away. - I bought a back scratcher because I read people used it with cats who were not used to touch and he actually really enjoys it! - Even though he is still...

    Kitten suddenly started pooping outside litter box

    Hi! I think the problem was the first box being too small for him and him being uncomfortable. As soon as we removed the cover, he went in it. He does use the larger box for peeing and pooing too, though.

    Kitten suddenly started pooping outside litter box

    Thank you for your answer! This morning I closed the door of the bedroom where the problematic litter box was and he still pooed right in front of the door. So he clearly knows he should go there and wants to go. A few hours ago I removed the cover of the smaller litter box to see if it was...

    Kitten still hissing and terrified after over a month

    Thank you! Its a relief to know 3 months is still a short time. I will continue to let him approach us on his own terms. I am leaving one of my t-shirts on the couch at night and I always find him next morning sleeping on it. It makes sense that he is trying to be close to us and cautious at the...

    Kitten still hissing and terrified after over a month

    I think Yoda’s character has really made a positive impact on their socialisation together. Every time Boogie hissed, spit or howled at him, he just turned around and left. Also he never invaded his personal space if he saw he wasnt receptive. Thats deffinitely helped! Weve been so blessed with...

    Kitten still hissing and terrified after over a month

    Hello all! Boogie and Yoda update: After Boogie was in the bathroom for a couple of hours, he was noticeably more calm. I gave him one of Yodas toys that had his scent and he played with it, chewed it and licked it. The lady from the shelter recommended us to open the bathroom door and see what...

    Kitten still hissing and terrified after over a month

    The thing is when I first took him to the vet they didnt see the herpes, just that he had a scratch in his left eye. We had to put eyedrops in it for a couple of days and come again the following week to see if he had healed. After those two visits, he had a flare up and I noticed he was making...

    Kitten still hissing and terrified after over a month

    Thank you! It made me feel better that Yoda didn't really react to Boogie hissing and getting all puffy! He just turned around and left, like he wasn't interested. Hopefully that gives Boogie the message that he is not a danger!
