After hiding under the sofa, he appeared in that corner late yesterday.
He eats and toilets when I'm not there. I expect he'll be doing that for a while. He'll get more freedom tomorrow...the lounge door will be open!
Hes about 5 years and a bit. All I know is that he was probably a long term stray. He was only rescued less than 3 weeks ago. So it's all rather new. He's been moved a bit too as he was in foster for about 10 days before he came to me. So, he's grumpy and wary.
He's doing well, I think. We adopted siblings from Cats Protection that had been given up when their owners emigrated. The female hid under the settee for a week.
As far as I know he slowly showed signs of settling...but was still grumpy when ready to come to me. When he arrived here, he gave little hisses when being encouraged out of the carrier. I'm guessing humans have been less than kind to him.
