Can a cat's personality change when moved to a new home??

I bought a cat from a breeder in Russia and he was shipped to me in California... At the breeders, he ';ruled the roost';, was very playful, and slept in the breeder's bed. At his new home with me, he hides under the bed all day every day except to go potty and eat. If I so much as move he runs and hides. He seems very skiddish. I wonder if this will get better or if he's going to be an under-the-bed nervous cat. He won't let me near him :( He's 10 months old too! Is this from the transition or is this how he's going to be??? It's been 2 weeks :(Can a cat's personality change when moved to a new home??
it's perfectly normal. once your cat starts to feel more at home he will start coming out but sticking to the sides of your walls just talk to him in a soothing voice and dont try to push. you can also try treats like canned fancy feast and such to let him know your on his side.Can a cat's personality change when moved to a new home??
let him choose his roost weather with you or some where else
yes just be patience with the cat. Cause when we moved my cat wouldn't eat for 3 days but she's fine now. Also moved is a big change for cats.
Yes, that happened to my cat as well. He is and was an outdoor cat, but not as much now as when he was in our old house. When we moved, he changed from a fit, energetic hunter to a boring, obese house cat. He only goes outside once in a while to go to the bathroom and ';explore'; our back porch. We think it may be because our neighbors cats were also outdoor cats, and they had already ';claimed'; our yard. maybe it is the opposite with your cat. He has nothing to rule over and doesnt have anything to do...?
Tha'ts normal. When i moved, my cat stayed inside for almost a month. She wouldn't go outside unless i was with her. But she's used to everything now. Just give the cat sometime. My cat was also about 10 month when we moved so don't worry to much about it. If you get really worried, you can always take him to the vet. They can give him some medicine to calm him down.
he went through a very stressful travel time. he should warm up to you soon. give him treats when he does come out and it may help.
