We decided to introduce the cats to their new home this week. Let me back track a bit...we have two cats that are total opposite from one another. One is fifteen, vocal (in a good way, not annoying, well except when he's hungry to the water has been standing for more than 15 minutes), and enjoys traveling (Petco, 6 hour drives, and shenanigans). The other, Piddles-Gayle, is a total weirdo. He hates to travel and has serious co-dependency issues. I've only heard him meow for 1 thing: when he thinks he's alone/lonely (i.e. if everyone is sleeping and you go to the bathroom and god forbid close the door with him on the other side).
Anyway, we take him into the house and he tenses up immediately. He walks to the middle of the living room and begins to meow up a storm. Not meow like "Help, I'm alone"...but bloody murder meow...and non-stop. Before ASPCA comes, I go over and lay beside him to pet him. He doesn't stop. His brother on the other hand is already upstairs in the closet...plotting shenanigans.
I go to check on him and come back to no Piddles anywhere. I look and look and do not find him. After searching I find him IN the bathroom cabinet sitting Blair Witch style- with his head in the corner, not moving and refusing to respond (even no ear movement). My husband says, "Leave him, he may be too scared."
Of course I don't listen and check on him ten minutes later only to find him in the dark bathroom corner wall, sitting with his head in the corner. I take him out and set him in the middle of the kitchen and he darts to the stair and corner wall face first.
It was so weird.
Then again this is Piddles, our little enigma.
