hi can anyone help me. i lost my beloved cat in december due to diabetes. i now feel ready to give a new boy a nice loving home. i got a kitten from a cat agency today and he was found in a litter in a skip and the vet thinks hes about 14 weeks if not slightly more. we think he was born from feral cats but has been with the cat shelter since he was bottle fed. my problem is he is absolutely terrified when away from me personally. if i hold him he clings on to me but when i put him down on my kitchen floor he went absolutely mad and climbed up my venetian blinds and knocked a dish of eggs from the fridge. he was absoloutely pertrified. he will fall asleep on the sofa next to me as long as i am beside him. im hoping he gets a bit more confidence. i know its early days for him but my fear is that he will always be unnaturally nervous. any advise about how to proceed and has anyone experienced this before. my last cat was the opposite and since i havent had a kitten for 13 years am a bit out of practice..................
