Title: New forum member with a rescue cat :-)
Post by: Markos on July 20, 2015, 13:26:39 PM
Afternoon all

My parents have just taken in a rescue cat: 2 year old male tabby, very handsome chap! I'll put a post up now about his behaviour as I've mainly joined to get some expert advice from you all... So it's a quick hello and this will be continued in my next post!  ;)

Many thanks Julie! Not had a chance to get many pics of him as he's so elusive but let's see if I can attach this one from yesterday...

He does look a nice kind sort. I am sure you are doing all the rights things. He will come around at his own pace. You have been around cats a long time. You know they like to do things on their terms. He is lovely. A gorgeous photo of him.

Lovely cat, looks just like my Xander who is also a very sensitive boy, he hides every time we have visitors.

Thanks all! My first cat hid from guests, so that I am familiar with and understand, it's just the hiding from his owners that's more concerning!  :briggin:

Hello and  :welcome:

What a very handsome stripey boy, how long have your parents had him?

Thank you Slugsta, only had him a fortnight, he's still getting used to his new surroundings!

It's still very early days, I'm sure he will come round in his own time.

He looks very handsome - if a bit worried!

Some take a while to settle and feel secure. I adopted two five years ago, one settled in immediately, the other hid under the wardrobe for three months. :shy: (Now she's a total fuss monster and loves a lap to sit on!)
