I’m often asked what to do about single cats that are too timid to set foot outside of a room.
My advice is to get them familiar with their own high scratch post like the one shown in the video.It’s easily portable and once they have claimed it as their own, you can start to place it just outside the room entrance.
Open door entries are very daunting for many cats to pass through. Having a post gives them the option to hide behind it or jump up on it for an aerial view outside of the door. Leave it there for a week and perhaps start leaving some kibble as an incentive.
