I just adopted a 6 yr old female long hair orange and white tabby from a rescue group, Kitty Cat Connection, in Kansas City. They rescued her from a woman who had 40 cats and she had been living in a basement all of her life. The Foster mom said she was so happy to see the sunshine that she spent most of her days by the windows. When I met her at the adoption event she was friendly, rubbing on me and loving my pets. She was purring the whole time. Since I brought her home she has been hiding under the bed and will not let me near her. I have been putting food and water under the bed but I am not sure if she is eating or my other kitty is eating it. The other kitty is just a year old and is a bit hissy toward the new kitty. No major attacks though. I wanted to put her in a back bed room so she could acclimate gradually but she escaped and has been under the bed since. Should I leave her to come out on her own, try to force her out knowing it will cause her more trauma? I am getting worried about her.
