My husband and I adopted a 10 year old female cat in mid October who needed to be rehomed due to her being bullied by existing cats in the household. Her owner moved in with his fiancee and her cats terrorized his cat...thus the new home for his cat.
After about 2 weeks, she finally stopped hiding under the bed 99% of the time and started coming up to me and rubbing up against my foot and being cuddly. The next day, I went out of town for work and my husband came with me so he could visit family. We were gone for 4 days. Since we have come back, I have seen the cat twice. That was 2 months ago. She basically lives under the couch and only comes out to use the litter box and eat when we are not home. I'm trying not to force her out since I don't know that would help. I did try to coax her out with a laser pointer which didn't work! Any ideas?
