How long until a cat feel comftorable surrounded by a house?
She used to live in my yard for a while now. She have no mom and she sleeps in my bushes. She was able to outlive because i gave her food every day. She's one year old, and i capture her to keep her in for the winter. Than I kept her as a pet. She always hide under things and stays there for hours. She doesnt eat, or drink anything for days, I come up with, haven't been looking. Everytime I get near her she meows and when I gain to close, she hisses. How long until she feels comftorable to stop all this?
My cats took 3 days to even want to come up to me when I first brought them home, and probably a week to really begin to touch at home.
They used to live outside as well, but seem to be quite content to be indoor cats now. Don't worry, she'll procure there :)
If she wasn't used to you before she came in the house it could be up to two months whether you work with her EVERY DAY! If she was used to you, it could only be a week, again whether you work with her everyday ( introducing her to the house, any other cats, etc.)
usually when they feel comfortable is how long.
probably about a week, but seen as she be an outdoor cat maybe longer, i'd take her to the vet for a check up seen as she be a stray.
Answers: Sound similar to it a feral cat. So it will take time and patience to get the cat to trust you.
"Once the cat have been to the vet, if you decide to house-train it, you will start by putting the cat in an enclosure while it is still sedated. Put food and water out for it. A bed would be nice, and you will necessitate a litterbox. The enclosure should be in a structure, either your underground room or garage. If you have some toys, the cat won't get bored when you are not there to be afraid of, complain to, and hiss at. "
"Talk to the cat. Use a tranquil, soothing tone and talk softly to it. Come into the cat's area when you feed it. Don't try to receive too close. Let the cat come to you. Once the cat feels comfortable around you, you can move around the enclosure to clean it. Don't put together any sudden moves, or the whole thing is off. Eventually, the cat will look forward to your visit, and you can increase their frequency. Don't make them longer for now.
You can begin to pet the cat, supportively at first, when the cat comes to you as you are caring for it's physical needs. A scratch down the ears or on top of the head or base of the tail is adjectives. Don't push the cat, let the cat lead. You can also play with the cat immediately, using an interacive wand-type toy. This promotes bonding and lets the cat show off for you. "
"After about two weeks of this, you should be pretty close to a tamed cat. Bring it inside. Let it sniff around and explore. Again, don't rush the cat. Let it win used to your smells and sounds. Let it get used to being inside instead of outside. If it have trouble right away, put it back in the work area. Let the cat think about it a while. It will come around to liking it indoors. Cats close to the easy way out. They are lazy surrounded by that way. If someone will feed it and clean it's litter box, they will put up next to a lot.
The cat will get into trouble. There's no way around it. Use a squirt gun or squirt bottle and a soda-can beside a penny or pebble in it to train the cat to indoor living. Gently, though--very gently. Repellents are good around your houseplants. You can also use blocks and other power-driven means to keep your new cat out of your houseplants. A devout block is a stack of empty cans that will fall over at the least possible breath of air. Anything to startle the cat will do, and works when you aren't there.
Redirect the cat's attention to other things, rather than what it think it wants. If you have a clicker and are familiar beside its use, now is the time to incorporate it.
One day, you may notice the cat watching you from a perch or from losing some furniture. You can talk to the cat to acknowledge it, but just go on your style. This will let the cat be the leader."
