Ever since we have had Gizmo and Scooter, Fluffy is neurotic (well, scared). As most of you know, Cinnamon and Fluffy live in our bedroom. Cinnamon at one time, used to not like to come out either, and she'd hiss and run back in. She's gotten soooooo much better -- she'll even run out the bedroom so she can get a look outside of the bedroom
However, Fluffy is a different case - she freaks out. For the last week or so, she's been wanting to come out, but if we bring her out, she freaks out, hissing, etc. So, today we put Gizmo, Scooter & Tigger in the spare room ("their" room), closed that door, and brought Cinnamon and Fluffy out and closed our door, so she couldn't run back in. Fluffy's back was twitching & going nuts. She's been out for an hour and a half now, and she is finally comfortable. I'd love for her to be her normal, mellow self all of the time. I'd hate to put her on meds ...... so, any other ideas? Do we just keep doing what we did today?

Tigger - I have two that are hiders now too since new additions to the household. It is frustrating - how about some Dr. Bach's? It has helped here!

IA. If you need me, just meow..
What about leaving the door to their bedroom opened so that all the kitties can come and go in there? that way she has no real choice but to interact with all of them?
