Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2008They're here
I have 2 scaredy cats here! I should have let them out in their room but I let them out in the living room so that is where they are hiding. I hope they find their own room; it is more private and I can put the litter box with them. Otherwise they seem fine; scared but very curious! http://www.flickr.com/photos/22213539@N03/sets/72157603566344672/ More later. > I have 2 scaredy cats here!

It's perfectly normal for them to be scared at first, and I suspect they'll find their room soon enough. Especially if there is a food dish or litter box in there, or maybe some catnip. What a handsome pair of kitties! They'll be out in no time. Do quiet things with the TV on low. Concatulations! >I have 2 scaredy cats here!

They look a bit worried, I hope they settle in very soon and become loving companions.

Ok, so here is a final update for day 1. first: Yesterday I was thinking how much these guys seemed to enjoy the cat tree (cats grow on trees?!) at the shelter and I determined there was a great spot here for one so I ordered this: https://www.spoilmykitty.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=13 Also, before they arrived (an hour late) today I bought some toys, more food dishes (I wanted small low dishes for wet food), catnip spray (we'll see) and fish food for the office tank. now for the update: They are plenty frightened at their new suroundings. My living room is larger than the entire world they used to know and that is when they were OUT of their cage. Even as frightened as they are they are so gentle I had little problem picking each one of them up and carrying them to their own room where I set a low lamp and closed the door. They have food, a drinkwell, a litter box, their bed from the original cage and a few toys. All I can do now is give them time. They have lived in a cage for most of their lives but their demeanor gives me hope they will adjust to the larger world I have for them. They can hide where they are now so I can't hardley see them so pictures will only come as they leave their hidey hole. I have never seen cats who are frightened be so gentle; it is really amazing. Thanks for all the concats, and good wishes! more later Andy ps: where is catnipped? We have another brother pair now! >> I have 2 scaredy cats here! In a few days they will be braver, in a week you will wonder why you worried. In two weeks you need to watch out ;-) Tweed (get back to me in two weeks if I am not right on this..) > They are plenty frightened at their new suroundings.

Purrs coming your way so that the brothers get their mojo back in short order and start running the place like they ought to! Looking forward to update #2!

We have another brother pair now! I think you're on the right track, Andy--giving them a room of their own, something familiar and all their needs accomodated and some privacy to get used to their new surroundings. Being together will be a comfort to them, right now. As you point out, it's a big change of scenery for them. I think if you sit in their room quietly, preferably on the floor, they'll come out and say hello and investigate you when they get curious enough. It will be a good moment for bonding with them. Concatulations on your new owners! Melissa > I have 2 scaredy cats here! I should have let them out in their room but I > let them out in the living room so that is where they are hiding.

And I'm not surprised that they're skittish - after all, they're in a new place. I'm sure they'll come out when they feel safer, or at the very least, when they get hungry. Congrats on a gorgeous pair of owners. Joyce SignatureTo send email to this address, remove the triple-X from my user name. > I have 2 scaredy cats here!

Best wishes for them to come out of their hiding soon, Polonca and Soncek >> I have 2 scaredy cats here!

I expected they would knock over a table lamp sooner or later but, instead, they put the digital clock I built 37 years ago (!!) on the floor. It's broke. I can fix it with a little work. It's a great clock and carries sentimental value (I was 16 at the time). I recently rerouted the power cord which if I had not done that would have prevented it from falling off the desk. I still think they are pretty cute, though. Andy
