I didn't get much of a response from google but I'm just wondering...
We've now had Lexus for 3 years. Every.... single.... day is the same routine for her. We wake up and she's under the bed. Not scared, just sitting there looking. If we get down on our knees to coax her out she thinks we are coming after her and tries to stay in the middle of the bed where we can't get her. Once we have showered and left the house she gets underneath the covers and stays there until we get home. Every day, never any different. It doesn't matter whether one of us comes home at 9:30am or 4:30 pm, she will not come out until around dusk, doesn't matter what time we get home, she comes out when it gets dark.
Every day when she finally emerges, she walks around all skiddish like everything is completely new. If she sees one one of she freezes in her tracks and stares, if you move towards her, she runs away-ALWAYS. You cannot go to her, she has to come to you. Finally by about the time we go to bed she's back to her usual self, plays with our other cat, cuddles with us, eats, whatever.
I just find it odd that she will not come out during the day time, and it seems like after her day of sleeping she wakes up and we are all completely new to her. And what's with the covers?
Any opinions are helpful, we've tried the feliway which helped a great deal when she's up, but won't make her come out early.
