Bringing a new cat home is an exciting experience, but some cats may exhibit “ghost cat” behavior, hiding and being elusive as they adjust to their new surroundings. Learn practical advice to help your new cat feel comfortable, including creating a safe space, practicing patience, and using positive reinforcement techniques.
Bringing a new baby into your home can be a wonderful and joyous occasion. However, for your cat, this can be a confusing and quite stressful time that can lead to peeing outside the litter box in places like the sofa, your bed, and even on your baby’s clothing and other items. Before you decide to rehome your cat, understanding why your cat is behaving this way, and how you can help them adjust to the new family member, can make rehoming unnecessary, and help your cat return to their former litter box habits.
