[QUOTE="SuperCow, post: 76255813, member: 415485"] Some fearless cats want to explore right away. Others may take up to a week to feel comfortable in a new house. What we usually do is limit them to one room with their food and litter until they feel like it is their territory. This is because our house is about 2500 square feet and have more than one cat. It might not be so important in a smaller apartment. It's important in the beginning to know where they are hiding. Go in occasionally and just sit there for a while so they get used to you, especially right after you bring them food. After a couple of days, try to entice them to follow you dragging a string, shoelace or yarn, which for some weird reason seems to be a universal toy for cats. If the cat's really afraid, don't try to grab it, entice it closer and closer to you with the string or a treat. Eventually, they will become hungrier than they are afraid, but they might wait you out in the beginning. [/QUOTE]
