Question

Hi all Blue has been with us for the past 2 months and for the most time it has been good. However, he is still not very social and I have try many things and I am kind of worry that he won't like me never. I have play with him, I have give him threats next to him to motivate him, I have created a routine of feeding, I have gatify the spaces so he has his things, I already went to the vet an he is perfect condition, I bought Feliway. I love him and I would like that he doesn't hide to much. Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Male | neutered | 3 years and 8 months old | 11 lbs

Be patient. He hasn’t been with you that long. It may take several more months for him to relax in your home. I do recommend sitting quietly and ignoring him. Cats are curious and when you’re not paying any attention to him he may get curious and come out to find out why. Sometimes they need to be the ones to initiate contact and this trust building will take time. You’ve done a great job so far and the feliway will help also. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Blue.
