Hi there,
I got some really useful advice on here before regarding our really nervous cat Bert, so I'm hoping for some opinions on this.
Bert is very nervous of humans having only ever lived at the CP since being a kitten. We've had him since June and although we still can't touch him he has come on loads, and even slept on the bed with us for the first time last night
Lately a little young cat has been turning up to play with Bert, and most of the time they get on well, with the exception of little one being over playful when Bert has had enough. Little one doesn't want to go home when Bert comes in at night and cries at the window, we've carried him home across the road and chatted with his owners. They ended up with him as a favour, and although they look after him, they would seem happy to let him stay here with Bert.
So here's my dilemma, could this set Bert back (as he comes first obviously), just as he was trusting us a new little cat coming on the scene, or might it help him to see how 'normal' cats behave? By the way I don't feed little one, I would never do this as he isn't ours, but he does wander inside as the door is open for Bert, Bert just watches him and then ignores him, but little one occasionally spits at Bert which I don't like in his own home!
