My Cat Won T Leave My Room

Litterbox food water is in my bedroom to help acclimate her.

My cat won t leave my room.

She is kind of scared of my older kitty but has toughened up lately. I have a 4 year old male and whenever she goes into the living room he chases her back into the bedroom. Litterbox food water is in my bedroom. She will hang out with the older kitty in her room but not in any other room.

For extra context my roommate had a golden retriever that my cat never met and all of my cats stuff ie. She has been in the bedroom for a whole year. As your feline companion gets less stressed you can start leaving for extended periods of time. This can be especially true for cats who have experienced trauma in their lives such as being re homed or abused.

I m afraid she will spend the rest of her life confined to the bedroom and it is breaking my heart. When your cat stops freaking out about these things you can leave for a moment and then for short periods of time. The kitten usually stays in one room and sometimes comes out to explore the other parts of the house but runs the back to her room when she sees someone or the other cat. For extra context my roommate had a golden retriever that my cat never met and all of my cats stuff ie.

Some cats bond so closely with their humans that being left alone causes the cat to suffer from separation anxiety similar to the stress kids experience when their parents leave home without them. She absolutely hates the boy cat. When you come back inside greet your pet and play a little bit.
