I brought a new cat home... It keeps running and hiding.. How can I help it to understand it is in a safe plac

I have one female cat who is very hyper. She is small.. a kitten.. last night I decided to get another cat to keep her company. A friend had a cat who recently (within 3-4 months) had kittens. The cats were living in a barn. I brought home a cute little boy... Now that I have the cat home, he will not come to me (he runs and hides) and my cat is dying to play with her new friend. I've tried food, petting it (when I can catch it) etc.. how do I get this cat to understand he is in a safe place? I am really wanting to pet it and show it the ropes, (food placement, litter box, etc)... but I can't get it to come out long enough to show it everything is o.k. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Hun, I know that this is difficult---but, what you have there is a WILD/ferrell cat. He was born in the wild (in a barn), and at 3 or 4 months old, he is also wild, and it is very difficult to rehabilitate a ferrell cat. Please, for your benefit and the benefit of the kitty you've had for a while, take him back to the friend you got him from and let him go. There is not much you can do with him except to leave him alone and let him come to you. BUT, you are taking a chance of bringing diseases into your other kitty that may be deadly.

Now, if you'd like to have a companion for your little girl--first, please (if you haven't already done so) have her spayed. Then, pay a visit to your local animal shelter. You'll find soooo many kinds of kittens there that the biggest decision wil be "which one?" Plus, when you get them from the animal shelter, they've had their vaccinations, they've already been spayed or neutered and they are micro-chipped--all ready to go to a nice home.

But honestly, if this little wild one had of been captured at about 6 to 8 weeks old, you would have been able to do something with him, but NOT NOW--he's too old, and he's going to harm your little girl kitty. Please take him back, he will NOT make a good pet. I've had experience with these---and, once they go ferrell, there's no coming back. Yes, to some people, they say that there is--that they can be rehabilitated. Yes--for a while. As they age, that wildness comes back into them, and OH Brother!! I still carry the scars from years ago by being torn up by what "appeared" to be a nice, loving cat. Yes, he was mine--I had him for 6 or 7 years, and the older he got, the meaner he got until I had to have him put down. I will not go thru that again!

Cat home remedies are effective and inexpensive to use. Cat home remedies can come in a couple of forms. The first are herbal remedies and the second are home remedies. I really think of them as one but I will discuss them separately. If you know your cat like I know mine then you know they would rather be treated at home and in this current economy saving a little money can be a big help also.

Herbal remedies for cats are just a part of overall cat home remedies.  The neat thing about herbal remedies is that we will already have many of these in our homes or better yet they are growing in our gardens. Additionally many of these can be grown in our homes. Aloe makes an attractive plant in our homes. For you to know that your cat will use herbal remedies just watch them as they are outside and eat grass. They do this to aid in their digestion which sometimes involves barfing in order to get some toxin out of their bodies.
