Tiggy is a cat with a specific personality! Based on your description, he seems to be a cat who enjoys his own space and values independence. Here are a few tips on how to help Tiggy feel comfortable and thrive:
Respect His Space: Since Tiggy prefers his own space, it`s important to provide him with areas where he can retreat and feel safe. Set up a cozy, quiet spot away from noise and activity where he can relax undisturbed.
Let Him Come to You: As Tiggy doesn’t like being held or restrained, avoid forcing physical interaction. Allow him to approach you when he’s ready for attention. This can help him feel more in control of his environment and build trust.
Monitor Introductions to New Pets: Tiggy seems to prefer being the only cat, so be cautious when introducing him to new animals, especially dogs. If you’re considering bringing another pet into the home, ensure that introductions are slow and controlled, and give him plenty of space to adjust.
Provide Plenty of Enrichment: While Tiggy enjoys his space, engaging his mind with toys, scratching posts, or climbing structures can help him feel stimulated and avoid stress. Interactive toys can also provide entertainment without requiring direct physical interaction.
Create a Stress-Free Environment: If Tiggy is nervous, try to minimize loud noises and disruptions in the home. Soft lighting and soothing music may also help calm him down.
Patience and consistency will be key in helping Tiggy feel secure in his home while respecting his boundaries.
