Hi
well yes if the cat is happy in your room and is eating and has plenty to do in the room then it is his choice and thats fine.

However I would assume that over time he will gain more and more confidence and want to begin to explore more. let him do it in his own time.

Just as a side thought, have you had him checked over by a vet. just in case he has a problem with his sight or hearing as this may make him more likely to be less adventurous.

Anyway i wouldn't worry, let him do things in his own way, give him access to other places etc and if he wants to explore he will.

best wishes Kate
