Adaptation of cats to their environment

Fear of birth in a new environment

Prepare the cat food and water in advance and just put them in a corner where the cat can notice them. Don't change the new food when you first arrive at home, or eat the original cat food, and change the food at a later stage by using the seven-day food change method. It is normal for cats not to eat or drink in a new home because they are not familiar with the new environment (2-3 days is normal for the adaptation cycle).

Hiding in the corner and not coming out

Especially in the first three days, never forcefully drag the cat out. Be sure to restrain the desire to kiss and cuddle it, first let the cat get used to the new home, give it a quiet and free corner, and a separate small room if possible, until it dares to come out on its own. Once it comes out on its own, it's time to get closer to each other!

Yowling

Don't pay attention to it, cats are not used to new environments and it's normal for them to bark or meow loudly. Be patient and give your cat some time to regain its composure.


Place the litter box

Don't use a litter box that is too complicated. Place the litter box in a corner where people rarely go but where your cat can see it, where it is quiet, and where the litter is as thick as possible. If the cat poops outside, dip a paper towel in the poop and throw it into the litter box and clean up the odor from the original location. (Cats find the litter box by the smell)

Possible stress

Don't rush to take your new cat out, bathe, deworm and vaccinate it when it arrives home, and try to avoid bringing strangers home. Always remember to bring small blankets, toys, and other supplies that the cat used originally with you while bringing it home, and don't feel that it is good for it to use new ones for everything.

About caging

Do not cage your cat if you can, cats need free space and long term caging can lead to depression. Of course, cats are nocturnal animals, and if they disturb the owner's sleep by running in the middle of the night, you can choose to half-cage them, find a larger cage or a small independent room, and then lock them up alone at night, but the space must be big enough. When the cat is obedient it is still mainly rehoming!
