He hasn't eaten or used his litter box yet, so I'm not sure what's up there :/
Oh, well that'll take a while. He's probably still too tense to do either of those. But it's great that he's already so friendly!

I know when I first got Woo it was a REAL challenge to get him to warm up to me, and that's JUST me. He still has trust issues with everyone else to this day.
I can't forget the hours I spent each day-- I brought food and water to him in my bedroom every day and night. When he didn't come out from under my bed I'd sit there and call, "woooooooo" and he'd call back with a hopeless meow. This would take several tries before he came worming out and cautiously eating.
I didn't leave the food, because I wanted him to get used to me, and by GOD did it take him a long while.

But that was just the start of our problems...
I'll have to go into the wormy diarrhea part of it later.
