This is my first post.
About two and a half years ago i got my cats, Max and Tabby. Then about two to three months ago my family moved houses taking them with us. Tabby adjusted to the new house right a way. Max is still taking time to adjust. He's hides under a bed or in the sheets all day and only comes out to eat.
A recent behavior though, is he's been refusing to use the newly installed cat door leading to the garage, where the litter box is. (in the old house it was in the utility room. Now we just have a utility closet.) So he's been going to the bathroom on our couches. We did prop the cat door open for a while but then a mouse got in so we had to close the cat door. his food was in the garage but then we decided to move it into the kitchen where it wasn't so close to his litter box.
Any suggestions on how to get Max to use the cat door so he can get to his litterbox? (Tabby learned how to use the cat door the first day we had it. and she uses it frequently. it's just max who won't use it.)
