I have a female indoor cat. I have had her going 7 years now. I used to live at a quiet dead end road neighbourhood for the last 5 years. 8 months ago I relocated to a new community for work. I live in a 2nd floor apartment, facing the road on the edge of a highway that connects into my community. There is a large amount of traffic and you can clearly hear it all day and night. It has been 8 months and my cat will simply just not get used to it. All she will do is hide in my room, in corners or underneath things. She will not go into the living room and use her box, she would rather poo and pee on my bed, in her carrier or on random items of my own personal clothing. I have had to move her food dishes and litter box to within close distance to the entry of her carrier in my room at the foot of my bed so that she will stop pooing, peeing around my room and on or in my bed. Things seemed to be going better for a while. I look after her well, Clean her box daily, I give her fresh water, wet food and dry food daily but all she does is hide. Her new trick is to hide under the covers on my bed but she stays under the covers for so long that she starts to dribble and leave piss spots all over the place under my blankets because she is too scared to go to the box in the day time. She has never been abused, she has always been treated with love and respect. Since coming here she acts like she has some mental health issues and has extreme paranoia. I miss my cat, I want my old cat back. It's almost been a year of this and no matter what I do, nothing will change.
