How Do You Know When to Push For More?
Hi everyone,
Our 5 year old neutered male Caesar, a Nebelung, is an apartment cat.
This weekend was his first real “getaway” from the apartment (besides going to Grandma’s house).
He is not too social and only in the last year has he been comfortable in the apartment hallway of our building, exploring it calmly and being friendly with passing people.
In this picture, the area is completely new; he’s been in our small cottage for only 12 hours now, pee’d once, ate only a few bites of food, hasn’t drank any water at all, and has barely slept.
We will be going back home tonight, a day early for his sake.
His breathing has been faster more often than slow since his trip here.
He’s been quiet, barely meowing.
Now he’s chilling under a table, breathing normal.
I just feel like I should give up on him becoming an adventure cat. I wasn’t expecting him to be this stressed. 😩😔
So what are tips, tricks or general advice?
How should I know when to call it quits on pushing him?
Thank you!
