New cats hiding? How to help them feel comfortable and come out.

Question

Hi, so I was giving two Manx cats, one is 10 months old and the other is 5 month. Both of them were brought to my home last Monday, I let them both out of the carrier and both went to hide. Ok. so patience is waiting out to help them feel more comfortable. I go where they are hiding a few times a day to let them know I am ok, and hopefully they will come out. Well the woman that I got the cats from never spent human time with them. so How do I get them to be comfortable to come out? Pet's info: Cat | Manx | Male | unneutered | 10 months and 15 days old

Hi there. Thank you for using PetCoach. You are doing fine. Just give them some time to feel comfortable. Avoid stress and loud noises. Don't put their food/litter box in any place where there is a lot of traffic/noise. Don't force them to do anything as this will make it worse. I suggest you try some Feliway diffusers in your house. These diffusers release pheromones that help to calm cats. It works great! https://www.feliway.com/us#redirected https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/comfort-zone-diffuser-with-feliway-for-cats Be sure to get enough diffusers to cover the square footage of your house. The other thing you can do is try to entice them to come out by using toys, especially ones with catnip. Hope this helps. Best wishes!
