Adult cat at home: how to help with adaptation - 6 rules
There are situations in life when it is impossible to pass by a homeless animal.
As a result, an adult cat may start living in the house.
Such a pet needs help to adapt to new conditions so that the animal avoids stressful situations.
There are only a few simple rules to consider when doing this.
How to help a cat adapt to a new home
First, you should let your pet explore the home on its own. The new "neighbor" may hide in a corner and sit there for a long time. This is normal, since the cat needs to calm down and get used to the new smell. You don't need to take it out by force.
Cats in a new place may initially ignore the litter box. Here you need to be patient to train the animal to use the toilet.
You shouldn't constantly pick up and hug your four-legged friend if he doesn't immediately make contact.
If the cat has a difficult character, there are problems with adaptation, and there are other pets in the house, then it is best to allocate a separate room for the "newbie" at first. At the same time, the animal should have access to a tray, clean water and fresh food.
At the same time, you need to be near the animal from time to time, talk to it and play.
The most important rule is that in a situation a person should try to show maximum love and care. Only in this case the adaptation will be successful.
Earlier we told you why the kitten ignores its name.
