Cat lost in wall/ceiling/crawl space

Great news about Oreo Elliott. She just needed a few days to adjust to her new surroundings. She still loves her mom

Elliott and Monnie. I am positive I have used the wavey emoji a couple of times to both of you. Please know it was never meant in a passive aggressive way.
 
DON'T LOOK AT ME

Callie, you're not a weird poster who stalks "libs" around the boards with condescending wavy guys, I would never think you had anything but well intentioned emojis ::)

i am watching my toddler niece for a couple days and she is terrorizing the cat a bit. Oreo loves kids, just not right now :lol:
 
For Oreo and Elliot. (((HUGS))). And hug your niece from me too. But tell her no terrorizing Oreo today!

Awwww so nice to see Oreo snuggling.

Everything feels right with the world when you look at that picture. :))
 
"I'm going to burrow into the closet under a towel all day, I'm just too traumatized by all this ohhhhhhhhh snap. You got Subway?"

Oh those pics are too much!! So funny..
 
Subway bandit bahahahahahhaha
 
LOVE the pictures of sweet Oreo. Please keep them coming. So happy she is getting back to her normal routine.

Elliott, Toddlers wear everyone out. My niece loves our maltipoo and is very gentle with her. They have so much fun together but at the end of the day I can tell my furbaby is tired. I notice she runs to me when she wants a break. I'll hold her for a few minutes and then she wants down and is right back to playing with my niece.
 
Hi Elliot! When you have time, I would love an update (and photo:))) on you and Oreo
 
You're all so great to check in! Oreo is still hiding. She comes out at night to sit with me and sleep in my bed or sit in the window, and in the morning it is back to hiding.

I have scheduled a trip to the vet for a checkup, just because it's been a while.

I do hope her confidence returns. She's still slinking low to the ground with a tucked tail.

Still better than being up in the freakin ceiling!
 
Her confidence will return -- she's a cat, ruler of the universe, subway foodie, conqueror of new house.
 
Omg, your Subway/Oreo pics and caption are so damn funny!!! :lol::lol::lol: I've said it before, I'm saying it again, you cannot post too much Oreo!!!
 
such a dear cat, we all need to find our feet when moving house don't we! Maybe leave a trip to the vet for a while unless you really need to take her, it may just set her back.Time that when she is more confident
 
How is Oreo doing today?
 
She's on my bed! It's storming here, so I think she's enjoying the coziness. Still very skittish and sensitive to noise, but bed is an upgrade from closet.

When my 2 year old niece was over (she is adorable but handsy) she pulled her tail a time or two and pressed her face up against Oreo's face. Oreo never so much as lifted a paw. So proud!
 
Stormy always freaks my cats out. Poor Oreo. Kids can also be a bit tough. I used to have lots of little guests running around my house like four maniacs and they would always say Kiki loves me (as he was hiding under the bed :lol:) Max has always been more chill and deals with the stuff better. Glad Oreo is on the bed. I bet that every day will continue to get better.
 
More pictures? Love seeing Oreo!

You go, Oreo!!!! Very hygge, btw :mrgreen::mrgreen:
 
Looks like she's settled in! If it makes you feel any better, I am currently being punished by my big cuddle bug at the moment for DARING to leave him in the care of his favourite Aunt ever (who spoils him and spends hours of time with him every single day and essentially lives at our place evenings and weekends while we are gone) to go on holiday. He's vacillating between "I LOVE you" cuddles and biting (so cuddling/purring, cuddling/purring, cuddling/purring, and then just randomly sinking his teeth into me). He wants to make sure that I'm aware how angry he is at me for leaving, even though he wants cuddles and attention. It's a cat thing. Grudges must be made known!!!
 
Elliot, I haven't been on PS much lately but I've been following your thread - so glad Oreo is settling in!

Cats are just the weirdest. I kind of love them for that, but it's true that it causes issues. The slightest change and they just totally lose it! We were out of town for my grandma's memorial service (just got back yesterday). My cat babies get so mad if we leave them overnight - they were VERY standoffish when we first got home, but after an hour or so, they would not leave me alone (I proudly admit that I'm their favorite human, lol). They've been all over me ever since they "forgave" me/us for being gone; now every time I turn around I trip over a cat! It's nice at first but they're driving me a bit crazy now, lol.

Anyway - it seems to be going well with Oreo and I'm happy for you both!
 
I just really miss the connection we used to have before all this change. It used to be any time I was home, day, night, it didn't matter. If I was home and sitting down she was on my lap. That's not happening nearly as often. During the day she hides/sleeps in the closet and comes out later in the evening to eat. She does sit on me later at night but not the way it was.

I know it's hard for her. I'm being patient and will always love and care for her, but it doesn't feel the same and that makes me so sad.
 
Oh Elliot that makes me so sad.

I couldn't imagine if one of my cats "changed" with me. :blackeye:

I think the bond will come back. Don't lose hope. The more space you give her the more she will feel like she can be herself and the quicker it may return.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I agree with CJ, I honestly believe that all you need is time and patience. Really, truly. Cats are such creatures of habit and I think mine actually feel betrayed by change; this makes them upset and will cause behavior changes that can last for weeks sometimes! But my cats have always gotten back to "normal" if I give them enough time and a constant routine.

And I've noticed that the longer I've had my cats, the shorter it takes them to bounce back to normal. For example, a year ago if I'd been gone like I just was, it would take my cats about a week to re-adjust and not be "mad" at me anymore, they would really hang onto their angry feelings. This time, it literally only took them an hour after we got home to be loving/extra clingy. (I think that's bc they're finally more used to short trips away from us and also, our bond is even stronger at this point in general). My point in all this is that I've seen enough with my own cats to be a firm believer in time and patience. I know it's frustrating! I just completely believe that you'll get that bond back. Truly.

I really hope this post makes sense, I'm posting on the fly...
 
Have you expressed these feelings to Oreo? I think that the next time she's on your lap, it'll be nice to let her know that you want to get back to the old cuddle routine and that you love her so much. And that it hurts you when she bites, not just physically...

As someone who works from home, I talk to my cats...a lot!:lol-2:
 
She never bites! She's literally never bitten me. Weird, right?!

When she sits with me I make sure to give her lots of lovin' and make sure not to "kick her out" for walking across my keyboard or eating the chicken out of my wrap.

I just feel sad about the during the day sitting stuff. I'm telling you, if I was ever on PS posting during the day before this past Christmas, Oreo was on my lap cuddling. I really really miss that.
