The good news is I finally adopted out one of my reformed ferals :-)
The bad is that he's hiding under the bed at his new home :-(
This is a totally sweet, loving kitty. My guess is that being moved to a strange environment combined with being without any of his playmates (or any other cats) for the first time is akin to one of us being abducted by aliens.
I'm wondering if it would be helpful for me to make a visit to give him a familiar presence for a bit or would this just prolong the seperation trauma? Another option would be to take one of my cats, who he really liked, that is very outgoing (not a shy bone in her body) to stay with him for a few days so he at least has another cat to relate to.
Answers or any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
