How long does it take for a cat to get comfortable?
try keeping it in a small room, like a bathroom with it's food and litterbox in the room. make sure you visit the cat while he is there. pet him, let him sniff you, and get him formiliar with you and other people living in the house. when you think your cat is comfortable in that room, keep the door slighly open and let him come out on his own, after he has came out and explored the house for a few days put the litter box and food out of the room into its permanite location, and if you want to keep it in the bathroom i would temopoarily move it somewhere else so the cat dose not feel atttached to the room. if there is another cat in the house, take two towels and rub one on each cat so the scent is picked up so the cat will be familair with the smell when they meet, dont be surprized if they don't like each other at 1st, also keep in mind that when cats play it may look like they are fighing just make sure it is not too rought if so take the new cat away. if you need to train it to use a litter box take it's paw and drag it accross the litter in an up and down motion. i hope i helped!

How long does it take for a cat to settle after moving?
Yesterday my mom and I moved into a town-home. My parents just got a divorce and before this we lived in quite a large house with a forest as a backyard. Our new town-home is close (CLOSE being the key word - it's not right next to it by any means, just to avoid the rude answers I've already gotten) to a busy street but also has forestry around. My cat, who is roughly a year old, has moved with us. He has been meowing a lot and has seemed very skeptical. He has only been here for a day but I was just wondering how long it usually takes for a cat to adjust to a new home. That being said, how long should we keep him inside before we let him out? I understand they have to get used to the smell and everything so I was just curious. I am not that keen on letting him out anymore given the circumstances but my mom says it's not right to keep him inside now after he's been used to it for so long at my old house. Thank you so much.
How long should a new cat hide?
I had a very shy cat whom I also got at 7 months old. The first few weeks and even months I had to be very patient. VERY. But 7 years later she is friendly and sociable and the ideal feline overlord. With me, that is. Anybody else comes in to the apartment, she hides. Your cat will probably always have a nervy disposition. But she will very likely come to adore you, given time.Keep her at first in a small room, or possibly the bathroom, with litter box, food, water and possibly a comfy cat bed of some kind (start with a towel nest on the floor, maybe inside a shallow cardboard box with the top foldy bits cut off). Don't buy an expensive commercial cat bed or cat hidey hole until you've figured out of she likes the towel nest or not. Maybe a small scratching post as well.Go in to change the water, feed her, scoop the litter. Hang out with her in the room for a little while after. Bring a book and a couple of cat treats to chuck casually around the small room. At first keep your visits at five minutes each but gradually increase. Don't approach her, just read your book or check Quora on your phone. Let her associate your presence with food and crunchy treats, and a non threatening atmosphere with a human who's not grabbing her or trying to approach her. Work your way up.Keep her in the small room for a week with the door shut (unless you observe her wanting to get out of the room before the week is up, in which case let her out). Then start leaving the door open some of the time. Don't worry if she doesn't come out, and if she does, ignore her except to throw some treats in her general directionsvery so often. Try not to block her path back to the open door of the safe room. Within time she will become used to her new home and new human staff.When you say she comes out at night, does she crash around, run around make a bunch of noise? If she comes out at night but is not disrupting your sleep, try leaving your bedroom door open. I did that and after about a month she started sneaking in after I was asleep and curling up at the foot of the bed for the night. She wanted to be close but on her own terms. Now she hops up at the foot of the bed every night without fail.Best of luck!
How long does it take for a kitten to settle into a new home and not be so afraid and hide?
We have just gotten a new kitten from my area's humane society and she is a sweet heart and will cuddle and let me pet her but only when I can drag her out from under the couch where she is hidden and can hide under a blanket. She seems to be slowly getting used to things here but i want to know how long before she knows this is her home and walks around freely.
How long does it take for a cat to adapt to a new environment?
It depends on the personality of the cat and how well it has been socialized in the past. When my current pair of cats arrived, I first confined them to one room which contained their food and water dishes and two litter boxes. I also took care to make sure there were toys and blankets which they had enjoyed at their prior home. Both cats retreated to the adjoining bathroom and hid from me. I frequently went into the room and just sat quietly until Azucar became curious and came to check me out. Canela stayed in the bathroom.After 2 days, I left the door to that room open. Azucar quickly began to explore every corner of the apartment. Canela still would not budge. She picked a spot on a blanket in one corner and would hiss at me when I brought moist cat food to her. Finally after a week, she ventured out and discovered my bed. She finally let me touch her. Then she discovered that I know how to give a massage to a cat. She loved it and from that moment we had developed a bond of trust which enabled her to feel comfortable exploring on her own. She is still the more skittish of the two, but she has adapted as well as she is able.
How long do you think it should take for a cat new to a home to feel comfortable and normal?
In my experience, it takes about a month for cats to get acclimated with each other, and for a new cat to feel like the space is "theirs." It can take longer, particularly with an older cat, but a month is about usual. A little trick my mother taught me was to put butter on all the kitties' paws which leads to grooming. Self-grooming is self-soothing and can help a cat feel more at home with new cats and a new environment. Don't force interactions, just let them find their own way.
How long does it normally take for a ferret to adapt to its new home?
It depends. Your ferret may never be the crazy one. One of my ferrets always just explores and rarely hops around- and I have had him for a year, so that is his personality. Try actively engaging in play with your ferret- roughhouse with him- roll him over, rub him back and forth on the ground, stamp your hands on the ground and push him a bit- basically annoy him, and that usually gets them jumping and flipping. You can also throw a towel over him and shake it. If not, you may just have a ferret that prefers exploring to jumping. They will not usually jump by themselves- you would need to provoke them. As for adapting to a new home, all of mine have taken about 3 weeks to be fully adjusted (not sleep most of the time, develop better eating habits, etc), however the ones that love playing played right away. If you know someone else with a ferret, you can get together and play- two ferrets are always more active than 1 ferret.
