Coming to your home for a cat or kitten means something different from the appearance of a pet for you. When you bring an animal home, it may hide somewhere or even run away from you. If you take a little of your time and patience, you will soon be rewarded with the mutual love of your pet.

Steps

  1. 1 Before the cat or kitten appears, you should prepare everything you need. Make sure to stock up on supplies for your cat. If you are away from home for a long time, then she may be bored.
  2. 2 Place bowls of food and water where your cat or kitten can easily reach.
  3. 3 Do the same for the litter box, toys, and bedding.
  4. 4 Provide your cat with fun toys such as bubble wrap, newspapers, bells, climbing shelves, and even playgrounds.
  5. 5 Move away from items that should not be broken or stained. If your kitten has yet to be litter-trained, you won't want to see his missteps all over the new carpet.
  6. 6 If the kitten instinctively runs away and hides, ignore it, go about your business until it comes out. Try to put food and water near his hiding place.
  7. 7 When the kitten comes out, quietly walk up to him. Many cats do not like it when people tower high above them, so try to sit down to get closer to the cat.
  8. 8 Let the cat sniff your hand. This will allow her to become familiar with the smell. Do not raise your hand above the cat's head and do not make loud noises, do not make sudden movements. The cat may hide again after sniffing your hand. When she hides, move food and water a little further away from the shelter. Repeat until the cat stays in place after sniffing your hand.
  9. 9 When the cat gets closer, stroke her head. Try not to touch your ears and never touch your stomach.
  10. 10 If the cat rolls on its back, exposing its belly, then it means that it has confidence in you that you will not harm it.
  11. 11 Try to pick up the cat. She may not allow it and even scratch you.
  12. 12 The cat must have access to all areas of the house. A closed door will pique her curiosity, which can lead to claw scratches on the door.
  13. 13 Bring the cat or kitten to the room where you placed the litter box.
  14. 14 Place her in the litter box and if the cat has nothing against him, then take a little walk around him. If this is the case, go to step 13.
  15. 15 Try digging small holes in your litter box to show the bottom. Teach the kitten to put its paw there by demonstrating a finger touch.
  16. 16 Every 3-5 hours, take the kitten to the litter box and leave the room. Cats love solitude.
  17. 17 When the kitten comes out, check what he left behind.
  18. 18 If there is a result, then you have succeeded, otherwise keep trying.

Method 1 of 1: Night Time

  1. 1 Some cats like to roam around at night and sleep all day. Others imitate their masters. If the cat did not come to sleep with you on the first night, then it is probably wandering somewhere or sleeping on the couch. If the cat is outside, then you must return it home (you should never leave it unattended on the first night on the street).
  2. 2If the cat comes to your room, let her go and let her lie down where she wants.
  3. 3 Some cats may sleep right next to your face, annoying with their purrs. Just do not move and let the cat fall asleep, then the purring will stop.

Tips

  • Be sure to secure your kitten's home. Any object dangerous to a child can also be dangerous to a kitten. Potted plants, wires, curtain strings (many people forget this).
  • You should not let a new cat or kitten out into the street unattended in the first 7-14 days (start walking from the fenced area).
  • At first, you may be annoyed and upset by some of the things that your cat does, but for her you are completely unfamiliar and you yourself do things that are inexplicable for the cat (which she has not seen before).
  • Purchase a cat carrier so you can carry it somewhere, such as your vet.
  • If a new cat bumps its head in your hand, then she likes you.

Warnings

  • Cats and kittens can run away, something can happen to them, so always keep an eye on them.
