Rescue Cat Play and Bonding Time
Bonding with your newly adopted cat is important. Now that we’ve covered how to create safety
and leisure for your cat, it’s time to focus on how to play and bond with your new fur baby. Cats
are choosy, and they will be the ones to initiate bonding time. While you’ll be ready to cuddle
and play games, they may still be running away and hiding under the couch or bed. Patience is
key, and eventually, your rescue cat will start coming out into the open.
Once your cat starts hanging out in common spaces with you, continue to remain calm and
ensure their safety and ability to roam around. You’ll be able to tell when your cat starts to get
playful and wants to cuddle because they’ll come to lay near you and may get feisty and play
with their toys or household items.
These are clear signs that your furry friend wants to play or cuddle, but let them make the first
moves. When it comes to rescue cats who have had hard lives before your cozy home, it can
take months for them to become comfortable enough to play and cuddle, if they decide that’s
their thing. Take it slow, and let them come to you.
