Kitty acts weird about coming in my bedroom

Now that Aspen has stopped chasing Pumpkin (well she still does a little, but I can handle that), I have another question about her. She's a very friendly and confident cat, but when I'm in my bedroom or in my study, she acts like she doesn't really want to come in there. I've had her for a little over three weeks, and she slept in my bed with me one night (approx. night #4) and hasn't since. She's fine in the great room, dining room, foyer and screen porch - all of which sort of sit between where the master bedroom and the study are. She runs up to me wanting to be petted or to play. And, she has come into the bedroom and study briefly. But, when I'm in these rooms she just acts very hesitant to come in. In the morning she'll meow for me to come feed her but she does this from the kitchen. If I don't respond she'll come to the door of the bedroom or study but won't come in. She'll even scratch on the door jams. Eventually, if I still don't respond she'll come in the room, but only briefly. I wonder if in her former home she wasn't allowed in the bedrooms. In a way it's nice because I have had to share my bed with at least two cats (and for a while 3) for 20 years and it's weird in a nice way to be able to turn over with ease. Pumpkin didn't sleep with me last night either because he got his distemper, feline leukemia and rabies shots yesterday, so he wasn't feeling that good and slept under a piece of my furniture on a new cat bed I just bought. I have to admit, though, that I do like sleeping with my little kitty friends or at the least having them come in the bed while I'm watching TV. Pumpkin does this, but Aspen just won't. Anybody have a kitty that does the same thing and is there a way I can get her to come in and stay in these rooms?

Maybe Aspen received a little "who's the boss" from Pumpkin that has backed Aspen off of as well as made her respect Pumpkins territory a bit more. Three weeks is not long at all and it sounds like they are getting along great! I'm sure over time you will be weary of your sleeping positions as to not crush or move your kitties again! I am always looking for Maia-love, even when she wants nothing to do with me!

I agree with that - it sounds as though they have come to an arrangement about which parts of the house 'belong' to each of them. I'd just leave them be, but make sure that you lavish Aspen with plenty of attention when she's in areas of the house where she feels comfortable so that she doesn't miss out through not interacting with you in the study or bedroom

That would be amazing if Pumpkin did that because for the most part I was worried because Aspen seemed to be taking the dominant role and bossing Pumpkin around. She was trying to claim the screen porch and great room for herself, but because of the prime cat real estate value of the screen porch and the common nature of the great room, I couldn't allow her to completely take these areas over to the exclusion of Pumpkin. I haven't seen Pumpkin exerting any dominance over her, but maybe when I wasn't around he laid down some rules. That would be great because I'm trying to get him not to let her take over.
