I had a super antisocial cat, Blacky only comes out of her hidden secret places for one of my male cats. She used to avoid me and the rest of the cats. She had an extremely unhealthy lifestyle as she barely moves around like othe cats would. And if the room is not empty she wouldn't come out and doesn't mind other cats eating her share of food. And when I'd carry her for food she'd always treat me as if i was gonna hurt her and she freezes (acts dead) in my hands dropping her head to the side in a funny way! I could feel her heart wanting to jump outta her chest.

I have solved this issue (accidentally), that's when i've moved Blacky out to the garden of our house cuz i wanted her to move her legs a little. After that i couldn't catch her back so there she stayed hiding. Days later she felt comfortable coming near me while i scooped her food in her new plate in the garden, she would just stand next to me and watch me do it. Slowly she let me touch her while she's eating or she would hide her face but still let me cuz it felt good. To my surprise when i tried to take her back to the room (her original hiding place where other cats were) she wasn't welcomed. She was attacked by three cats (her lover being first) and two females. So it was a new start that she had to find herself new friends. She realized she was unwanted by her old family, and that i was her only friend. She became extremely clingy to me, and slowly she started climbing up the wall and finding friends. I didn't realize it until she got pregnant. Now she has babies and a friend and a perfect life in the garden.

So if you have an antisocial cat, i think if she feels how much she needs you, (or company) she will be working to fix her issues. Don't starve the poor little things but make sure u force them to come out and close for food till they learn that it's how they will survive. Just wanted to share my experience with you. Hope this helps. :)
