New Kitty

Desmond79

I got a Girl Kitty, black and ginger, named Hope. 

However, she acts as if she was kidnapped. 

How may I win her over? I have a bowl of water, some tuna and a litter box for her.

  • Lovely! How old is she? I thought you were getting a white kitten? I have been away from the forum for a few days as we just got a new cat too and she is a bit hyper. I thought cats were supposed to be autists, but this one has ADHD hyperactive type for sure! She is only a year old so still quite kittenish.

    They do like tuna, but she will need proper cat food as it has the right balance of nutrients for cats. I'm glad to read she is settling in with you. It is usually advised to keep them inside for the first week or two, starting out just in one room if nervous and gradually getting used to things. The Cats' Protection website will have info about how to settle your new cat, that's where we got ours from. They have been quite diligent about making sure we know how to look after a cat even though this is our 4th.

    Also don't give her milk as it gives them the runs! Unless it is lactose free. Dunno if goat milk is OK? But they don't need it, water is safer.
