Well, I picked Geoffrey from the cattery and brought him home.
I got Ruxpin and showed him to Geoffrey who sniffed inquisitively!
We let Geoffrey out, holding Ruxpin. Geoffrey sniffed him and Ruxpin hissed!
Geoffrey is totally not bothered by him at all - it's the other way round! Crazy! Ruxpin is now hiding under the sofa again while Geoffrey plays chase with his balls and OH in the hallway.

this is going to sound really obv but did u get a new kitten?

 

[catgeoffrey]

Yes we did! Very sudden decision but we have a bsh called Ruxpin. He's very timid and hides under the sofa a lot!

I'm sure Ruxpin will be fine once he realises that Geoffrey isn't a threat

I'm sure Ruxpin will be fine once he realises that Geoffrey isn't a threat

I'd like him to establish that we aren't a threat as well as he just hides away all the time apart from to eat and use his litter tray!

Rosie was like that as a kitten. She spent almost a week hiding under the bed in her safe room Just be patient and Ruxpin will learn that he is safe with you but it may be that he will always be a shy type of cat.
Even now Rosie hides away when we have visitors and will only come out when they have been here for a while. She made an exception when she was 'looking after' Mai Tai's kittens and would come to check out prospective slaves

Thanks for the reassurance! I think after having Geoffrey who was so outgoing its a shock and hard to deal with him being so timid. I just want him to be happy and I just hope once he settles in he will be!

When I got Rosie she was very scared and wouldn't even eat a treat from my hand she had to have it off the floor! Within weeks she learnt to trust me and now sits up nice for them! All will be fine I'm sure
