Asking in here as well because I'm not sure which thread is more appropriate: So my wife and I recently adopted two rescue cats and the smaller of the two was really skittish and found his way into a gap in our unfinished basement ceiling. This is the start of his second day up there. We've seen him a few times but so far it doesn't seem like he's come out to get food. We put water/food up in the ceiling where I last saw him so hopefully he'll at least get something, maybe. How do we get this cat that doesn't like us/know us out of the floor joists? I'm open to taking down the ceiling if it comes to that, I don't want him trapped up there.

Deteriorata posted:He won't be trapped. He'll start to come out when he feels braver. Hiding is a cat's natural inclination when it's in a new place. I just hope his sense of navigation/association outside of the ceiling is strong enough to make him want to come out. He's bonded with the other cat we got so we're hoping he'll find his way out for that reason alone but he didn't seem super food motivated and even though we can hear them mewing to each other from under the door it doesn't seem to have coaxed the other one out of his perch just yet. We're also not sure how talkative the hiding one is so I'm worried we might miss hearing him if he's in distress.

Just want to share with folks that the ceiling cat has been rescued. He somehow found his way under our bathtub and we had to cut through it to get him. There are pics/videos in the other thread, don't want to spam them since I'm sure there's a lot of crossover.

Cross posting this from the vet thread in case anyone here has ever seen this before: Taking my little fella Bowie here to the vet on monday but I figured I'd post here in case someone can assuage my fears in the meantime He seems completely fine but I've noticed some discoloration the white hair on his nose/hair loss near his left eye (you can see both in this picture)  any thoughts on what this could be/should I expedite the vet trip?
