I got a new kitty!
Introducing Betty White
And I have a question about her acclimation as I’ve received some conflicting advice already. I have her closed up in an acclimation room—all her necessities in my home office with the door closed. She was an owner surrender. She spent ten days in the shelter. I only met her through her carrier because the shelter is still closed due to Covid. She’s only been interested in hiding since she got home. But she has finally ate something. And used the box.
So my last cat, Krista, she was super-confident and in my face from the moment I brought her home. This one may need some time. My question is do I leave the door to her acclimation room open tonight and see if she wants to roam the entire apartment? Or do I keep it closed and give her the freedom to roam her single safe room without fear of intrusion?
Second question. Her acclimation room is my home office. Do I try to work in the office with her tomorrow? Or do I take my laptop to the front room for the next day or three?
