The arrival of a new kitten in the household can be a wonderful experience for everyone. Being in a new environment, and the extra attention being given to him can certainly be overwhelming to your new kitty.

Cats have different personalities and it is often hard to predict how your new kitten will react to his new home. While some are quite bold and will easily feel at home the moment they step inside the door, there are those that become wary and fearful, especially when there are other pets around.

Thus, it is important to confine your kitty in a room that has already been kitten-proofed. Spending a few days inside the room with his food and water bowl, litter box, bed, and toys will help him adjust to his new environment. With regular interaction, your timid kitty may soon shed off his shyness and start to mingle with humans and other pets in the household.
