Hiding Cats

by Shelly
(El Paso, Tx)

I brought home two Siamese Cats yesterday. A brother and a sister, Beauty and Beast. Ever since I got them here they haven't come out of hiding ;-(

I'm getting worried that they never will. I haven't noticed they've eaten, drank or used the kitty box. I know they've relocated at night and maybe looked around. My concern is will they ever interact with me?
What should I do? I've tried handing them treats and it didn't work. I just hope and want to make sure the day comes that they sit with and even sleep with me.
Any suggestions?

 Placing the bowl of food
by: Lynn

Placing the bowl of food near her hiding place is fine. So don't feel guilty.
Before you know it, she will be taking over your whole house!

Yeah I jave bee talking nicely and not forcing them out. I can speak to Bandit and he will come out shortly after. However his sister is still in hiding. Often enough they are not in the same area, so I attempt to take Bandit to lore his sister out or just be with her. Hopefully that wll help her loosen up.

I probably shouldn't but i've found myself at nights planting a bowl of food near her hiding location to get her to eat. It works but probably a habit I should break so she has to come out. What do you think?

 Normal

Hi, I understand your concern. It is normal but what I would suggest doing is talking to them nicely...not forcing the issue or anything and waiting to see how things go. I went through the same thing w/my beloved Diva so I know where you're coming from.

Hi Shelly

It might take several days for them to surface. This is very normal.

Just be patient. You will start seeing them a little at a time. The fact that your adopted a brother and sister is great and less scary for each cat. Don't worry.

Keep in touch of their progress.
