Thread: Took in a MC that's not eating/drinking

Our first Maine Coon was a retired Stud cat and he was the same for the first week. Once he settled his eating & drinking went back to normal. Just give him a little time to settle in and I am sure he will be back to normal.

Is that the same food he was eating at his former home?
I'd be inclined to feed him the same food he's used to until he's settled in.

^ Mailbu is neutered.

Since the last post, he has bonded with me, eating/drinking regularly.

He now enjoys being petted by me.

Lots of progress.



I still keep the master bedroom closed most of the time as he is very territorial with the other three cats....if any of them get close to him it's like Mortal Kombat.

So now I'm hoping Malibu will start to tolerate the other cats.

Sounds like Malibu has settled it. That's great!

Mailbu is relaxing more, sometimes he looks like the bobcat on the right in the picture below.

While Malibu is more relaxed, he still has work.

One morning he stayed on the bed's header so afraid to go to the litter box he had a huge dump there. {blush}

A couple of times, I've taken him from the master bedroom to the room I use the computer for an hour or so each - unthinkable a month ago.

Malibu somewhat tolerates two of the three other cats, but he definitely does not get along with Spencer - ironically the other MC.
