Every morning the food bowl is empty and the litter box is full. He still
spends the day
burrowed under the daybed spread. His previous foster parent had told us he was on the shy side when he first
arrived at her house, so Hubby Tony and I aren't completely surprised by his
actions, but I am looking forward to the day when Pimento is more than just a
faceless lump.
During the last email communication with his previous foster parent she
suggested we try a Feliway diffuser, which plugs into an outlet in the office
and emits a feline pheromone that is supposed to be calming. The internet was
full of positive reviews for the product, but Pimento must not have read the
reviews because it doesn't seem to have had much effect.

DeleteMy sister's cat is the same after years, only warmed up to her daughter, very shy. -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteOur previous cats changed in personality as they aged. I hope Pimento does the same.
DeleteI had a sweet extremely shy introverted cat named Chloe. She hid all the time. She would only come out when she heard my son’s voice when he would come home from college to visit. I loved her to pieces but she just wouldn’t respond.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting that your son was her 'person'
DeletePoor Pimento sounds like she has been very traumatized by past experiences.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much information the shelter has about his early life.
DeleteCats can be so judgemental!
ReplyDeleteYes they can.
DeleteI think Feliway is in the mind of the user, lol, never has helped any cat here, that I could tell. You may have to become a little more involved, if you are not already, by going to get him.
