I haven t seen a cat for four days, and how long does it take for a cat to hide in its new home

The amount of time a cat takes to hide after arriving in its new home varies from individual to individual, usually between three and seven days, and may take longer. To let the cat know that its environment is safe, the owner can take the following measures:

1.Provide adequate food and water: Cats can feel nervous in unfamiliar environments, and providing food and water can make them feel at ease.

2.Give plenty of space: Prepare a comfortable kennel or cat mat for your cat and let it have a quiet private space.

3.Don't force the cat: Don't force the cat to come out while it's hiding, let it slowly adapt to the environment on its own.

4.Give enough love: Spend more time with your cat, interact with it, and make it feel cared for by its owner.

In general, it takes 5 to 7 days for a cat to get used to a new place.

As for the cat will hide for a few days, it is mainly related to the pet owner and the environment, if the pet owner is very gentle and patient with the cat, and the cat feels that the environment is relatively safe, the hiding time will generally not exceed 1 day.

During the period when the cat is adjusting to the new environment, it is recommended to disturb the cat less, and at the same time, it is also necessary to avoid a large number of people to see the cat, so as not to increase the cat's fear. Finally, cats are prone to stress when they first arrive in a new environment, so it is recommended to feed them scientifically and reasonably, and try to feed the cat food that the cat ate before.

If there is no original cat food, it is recommended to feed with probiotics during the feeding of the new cat food to reduce the chance of intestinal discomfort in cats. If you have vomiting or diarrhea during feeding, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time.

Three steps:1I grabbed the back of my neck and cut my nails.

If you don't know how to cut yourself, you can go to a pet store and cut it off to prevent cats from scratching people.

Untrimmed cat's claws can hang the meat with a slight touch.

2.Give the cat a fixed point.

When the cat arrives at home, let it go and let it roam freely.

As soon as it burrows into all kinds of nooks and crannies under the sofa and bed, you must pull it out.

The pull here is to scratch the back of the neck, and you can also use it to hold. ）

We must not use intimidation or coaxing.

As long as it doesn't frighten the cat, anything is fine.

Pick it up and put it on the couch or on the floor, and let it run.

Be careful not to put the cat directly on the place you have prepared after you have taken it out. Cats won't stay. You can only narrow it down and let it find it on its own.

After two or three times, it will no longer hide in the same place.

Until it hides in a place where you can easily catch it, such as the nest you prepared for it. Don't go near it at this point and make it think the place is safe.

It is important to note that you can't catch it directly to the right place at the beginning. Gotta let it find it on its own.

3.How to get close to cats.

Once the cat has found the location you have prepared, it can only touch it once or twice in that location for the first few days, and it will change places if it touches more.

Touch the gesture to kill with touching the head.

Slowly reach for its head at a constant speed. If it resists, you walk away. Repeating this three or four times is not resistant.

After about a week of doing this, the cat won't resist you.

The above is my way of getting close to my dashing brother. Hope it helps.

Everyone's breeding philosophy is different, my understanding of cat raising is that the cat itself is a product of domestication, and should be guided accordingly.

Any different views are welcome to be pointed out.

If there's anything wrong with my approach, I'll revise the answer.

Here are two questions about cats.

Question 1: Cats have different breeds, so they have different personalities.

Because I've always wanted to open a cattery, I've handled a lot of cats since 2014.

I still have Maine and English short, and the other cats are kept for about a month or two, and someone in the local area buys and sells them.

The first cat I had was Siam. There is also a Ragdoll cat that has been raised for about half a year.

It can be said responsibly that the nickname "dog among cats" is purely for the purpose of selling cats.

The personality and breed of the cat have nothing to do with it at all.

You have to accompany him often, feed him often, and play with him often, so that he will slowly get familiar with you, so that he will not take the initiative to get close to you, don't be in a hurry to take your time.

Different cats adapt to the new environment of the time is different, some cats with strong adaptability will not have this kind of reaction, generally speaking, the strong adaptability can be adapted to about 1-2 weeks, and the poor ability may take 1 month or longer. Cats generally have a sense of fear of the unknown or unfamiliar environment, and the degree of reaction will vary depending on the cat's personality and breed.

Some of the common problems that cats have when they first arrive at their new homes are: hiding in a corner, barking all the time, not letting people approach or touch it (a few reactions may bite you), not eating (few or some, even if there are at most one that will be eaten in a day), sniffing and walking along the corner of the house (that's what it is curious).

There are also some cats with strong adaptability will not have this kind of reaction, generally speaking, the strong adaptability can be adapted in about 2 weeks, and the poor adaptability may take 1 month or longer.

As the owner, you can place a good basin, rice bowl, and cat toys near the cat is hiding, prepare food for it to slowly adapt to itself, and do not force or suddenly pet or hold it. Leave a quiet space for the cat to adapt at first, which is conducive to the cat getting acquainted with the owner more quickly.

You should put the kitten at home and let it get used to the environment slowly, and don't force it to do things, give it some time to adapt.

I think you should give the cat enough time to give the cat enough love and care, so that the cat feels that the surrounding environment does not pose any threat to him, so that the cat will get used to it.

Just take your time to get in touch, an animal will feel very scared when it arrives in a new family, and you have to touch the animal with love.

You should take your kitten out of the house. Expose the kitten to the outside society. The kitten's personality will be more cheerful.
