When should a new cat be let out of a room ?
A friend of mine has adopted an ex-feral cat and she's now keeping him in a small room in her house. He's still hissing at her when she enters the room and she's worried that if she lets him out of that room he will run away when somebody opens the front or back door of her house. But I think that he may be unhappy being kept in a small room by himself most of the time. Any suggestion will be appreciated. |

I'm not familiar with adopting ferals, but usually, keeping the cat in a small room where it's quiet and s/he can feel safe is a good thing. Laura I think it's been about a week and he probably feels safe in that room but he may also want to come out when nobody is watching. He's the only cat in the house and I don't know if this is good for an ex-feral cat that's going to be kept indoor. |

If your friend lets him out now, he will find a place in the house to hide
and he won't find him. Keep him in there until he is much more tame.
