Hey there,
Happy Holiday's to you all. I am a first time cat owner and I adopted a cat, aged at about 2, in September. Now, things have been a bit rough and confusing, and I could use some advise.
OK, first thing is that Mandi always runs under the bed, which some have said is no big deal, when ever I leave a room and enter the other room where she is; I have a two room apartment. If I am sitting on my bed and get up, she hears me and scatters.
Now, at night when I go to bed she sleeps in the bed, so it seems strange that she is so skittish, but she will come sleep in bed with me at night. What also seems really "off" is that when I try to play with her outside of my bedroom (her favorite toy is a long rod with a feather attached at the end), she will not allow herself to play inside with me or play if I get off the bed. She will only play with it if I sit on the bed and play allow her to play with the toy. I simply do not want to be restricted to sitting on my bed and keeping a distance from my pet when she wants me to play, and I do not know what to do? Another thing is that she is the ONLY cat I know that will not come to me to get treats. I have to leave them on the floor and then she will get them later.
HELP! This upsets me and do not know how to handle it.
