hi..me and my gf just adopted a 1 year old cat from a family whos mother was allergic. the cat was a little girls cat and by the looks of it sorta scared it. anyway when we brought the cat home the first thing it does is hide. it hides under the couch, bed, dressers all day. the only time we see it is when my gf finds it and picks it up and we pet it and feed it and it looks so happy and purrs and lies on us. then it randomly just runs away. ive read that its not good to pick up the cat when its hiding but if we didn't it would just hide there all day. it doesndt even leave to eat or use its litter box. i need suggestions
