My poor new pet cat is still so scared of me after being here for over a week.
I don’t know if it was abused or if it is just freaked out from being moved to a new place.
I think I would feel the same way, so I guess it just needs time to get used to this place and me. It’s a small black cat with big green eyes, looks like an owl and is good at escaping and hiding, so I named it Hoo. Maybe one day Hoo will finally love me like I love it already. The plumbing contractor told me this morning, when I called him saying the cat has escaped my house, that there are many places the cat can hide. I finally found it hiding under one of the pillows on the sofa when I almost crushed it by leaning on it. I think the plumber is right about giving the cat time and just letting it eventually come to me. It’s been hiding under the sofa for over a week and what if years go by and it just lives under my sofa, what kind of a pet is that? I think the drain in my bathtub is getting clogged with cat hair because it is draining slowly and I see a bunch of black hair in it. I guess he likes the bathtub because he feels safe in it. Luckily, I have two bathrooms so we both have our own. I also have a problem with my hot water heater but I don’t think it’s the cat’s fault.
