Hi all! My boyfriend and I adopted a 1yr. old female tabby about a week ago. I'm quickly falling in love with her, but she has decided that 7:30 am is wake up time. From what I've read this is a rather common problem. The suggestions I've read say to play with her a lot before bedtime. I'd hav enop problem doing this, however, she was a stray for who knows how long and remains rather shy. I have seen progress in the past day or two but she still wants to stay under our bed if she isn't eating, drinking or using the litterbox. Any suggestions on how to get her to play more or feel more comfortable with us? She is currently living in our bedroom with some access to the rest of the house. I didn't want to give her too much "new" all at once. Thanks for any suggestions, she's my first cat!
