Congrats on the new cat! Unfortunately, this is going to take some time as a lot of cats can be nervous in new surroundings during the day and tend to feel more comfortable during the night. You can try to some feliway diffusers to help calm her during the day to see if this helps. I would also try to feed her her favorite treats or canned food during the day to get her to come out so you can love on her. With time, she should start to come around. I hope this helps!

Hi there. This is a common problem in cats. I would recommend using a timed automatic feeder to give him breakfast in the morning, so that you're not personally involved in the process - that way, there's no point in waking you up. Here's an example of one that would work well for this purpose: https://fulcromarket.com/products/automatic-pet-feeder?variant=19256144166974&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Google%20Shopping I would also recommend closing your bedroom door to keep Pepper out of your room at night, until the new feeding routine is established.

In my experience, a cat who wants to escape from something like a harness will eventually find a way. I do think that this type tends to work a little better: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/petsafe-gentle-leader-come-with-me-kitty-harness-and-bungee-leash-in-blue I also think training is very important: put the harness on for very short periods of time while offering food or a treat and gradually work your way up to longer time. If he starts to get upset with the harness training is over and you should take it off. All harness time should be fun! Once he seems comfortable you can then try adding a lead.
