How can I get my adopted cat to warm up to me?
Q. Today I adopted a cat that had been abandoned by it's owner. A neighbor of hers that knew the cat since it was a kitten (she's two now) says she is very sweet and affectionate, but has been neglected for some time. She has been under my bed since I brought her home. She allows me to pet her when I scoot under there, but she won't come out and I'm worried about her eating and going to the bathroom in her box. She is the first pet that is solely mine, so I'm a bit nervous. Her name is Hemingway, or Hemi for short.

How old was the oldest cat you've ever adopted and what was the experience like?
Q. I'm just curious because I'm planning to adopt a 15 year old cat and would like to hear about the experiences of others who have adopted older cats. Did the older cat adjust okay to its new home?

A. I adopted my cat Persephone when she was ten. She and Desmond, who was four, belonged to a couple who treated them like their children-- their cherished, spoiled children. The man developed asthma, and they had to give their pets up. It broke their hearts. The adjustment was very difficult for both cats. Desi started liking me after four days. Sefi took longer-- maybe a couple weeks. They went on to be very happy in my home, even though it was totally different from the one they had known. Sefi died at 20, and Desi at 13. I think this is the true meaning of the expression "a cat has nine lives." They can adapt to just about anything. You can help them with the transition. Kindness, patience, and letting them have their space… [cont.]

A. When I adopted my son at 14 months of age he had had a really stormy, horrible past. It took my nearly a year to finally get around his defences. It was slow work, one cuddle, one kiss at a time. On retrospect, I think in the begining I was trying too hard. Once I let go of trying to 'get' him to love me, it became easy. I would sit next to hime and do ' parallel play' and offer suggestions. My son really responed to music- so maybe you can try that. One day when he got up at night and curled up into bed with, I knew things would be ok. Being an adoptive parent is really hard. There are no guidelines. It is really work in progress. Also seek a developmental pediatrician
