Unfamiliar environment: kittens are unfamiliar with the new environment and are afraid. They may choose a relatively safe place, such as under the sofa, to hide.
Loneliness and anxiety: Kittens may feel lonely and anxious when they leave their mothers and companions, and express their needs by barking.
Looking for a mother or partner: Kittens may be looking for a mother or partner because they are used to being with other cats.
Hunger or thirst: Kittens may feel hungry or thirsty and attract attention by barking.
In order to help kittens adapt to the new environment, the following measures can be taken:
Provide a safe space: provide a safe, warm and comfortable space for kittens, such as a box or a cat nest, to make them feel safe.
Provide food and water: Make sure the kitten has enough food and water to meet its basic needs.
Give attention and companionship: take time to interact with kittens, give them care and companionship, and help them adapt to the new environment.
Gradually adapt: let the kitten gradually adapt to the new environment, and don't forcibly expel it.
It should be noted that it may take some time for the kitten to adapt to the new environment when it just comes home, which is normal behavior. If the kitten continues to hide and bark, or has other abnormal behaviors, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian or a professional animal behavior expert.
