About Christina A. Rallo, Esq. Expertise I have loved and trained many pet cats over the years and have experience in the care, weaning and training of orphaned foundling kittens. I can answer questions concerning how to properly care for abandoned kittens from birth including proper feeding, litterbox training, general training, grooming, sexing, and finding loving homes for all your babies.
Experience I have years of experience taking in stray and foundling cats and kittens, caring for them and finding homes for those I could not keep myself. I have handraised foundling kittens from just a few hours old. I can offer advice to help those who have never tackled being a surrogate mom or dad to kittens on all aspects of the experience.
Question I moved about 8 weeks ago and Murphy has a hard time adjusting. I pay him as much attention as I always have but I think he misses his daddy. I don't know what to do. He has three times as much room to roam and I think he would be happy but he stays where my scent is more prevelant. Can I make my kitty happy? Or is he just missing the ex?
Answer He is certainly missing him. Cats are very sensitive to changes of all kinds such as just a change in his new home, but they definitely will miss a person. Just keep doing what you are doing and give him time to adjust. That is really all you can do. You could give him some new toys to keep his attention if that makes you feel better about it, but time to adjust is what he needs.
