My brother adopted a bengal 9 month old cat from a shelter and loves the cat. However, it's been a week and the cat hides in a bedroom closet and also hides behind the stove. Will not come near my brother. He has a 3 month old kitten that the bengal loves and will let the kitten come near him, but super afraid of my brother. My brother tried moving the cat into a bedroom because he needed to vacuum and didn't want to scare the bengal because it's already skittish. As he picked up the cat, it bit him 4 times, hard, in rapid succession, on the arm and hand. He has deep wounds and needed to go to the hospital. He wants to keep the cat and wants to work with it but thinks he may have been a stray. The funny thing is, when he picked him out at the shelter, the cat was warm and friendly, purred and liked being pet. The new cat loves his kitten but is afraid of my brother. My brother put a dirty sock behind the stove and in the bedroom closet to get the cat used to his scent but he's hoping the cat will warm up to him in the next wk as he will be gone in Florida for a week March 1st and has someone caretaking for the cats. He wanted me to post this thread asking for advice. Any thoughts?
