A week ago, we adopted a 10-year old cat who had been with her previous family for her entire life. We believe the previous family treated her very well, and they say she was very affectionate. However, she seems to be struggling with the change. She barricades herself away and hisses whenever my wife or I get near her. Within the past few days she has begun to venture around our place, but still growls or hisses whenever we are in sight. Attempting to pet her or even put a hand near her will usually result in a hiss, swat, or bite. We're trying to give her space (which is somewhat limited unfortunately in our apartment) and letting her come to us on her own time, but are there any other tips that may assist the cat in adjusting to her new home? I'm also planning on trying a Feliway diffuser.
Thanks!
Thanks!
