I have a little kitty named Shadow. Ever since I got her as a kitten she's been a total scardy-cat.
I always have to drag her our from under something. She also HATES being picked up, and seems to really fear it.
However when I manage to find, pick up, and have her she calms down and transforms into a very sweet kitty.
She'll come out if nobody is around, but if you make any sudden movents she'll dash away even if she's relaxed.
And I really don't know why she hated being picked up so much. I'm as gentle as ever and my other cats certainly don't mind. She really dosn't trust people unless you force her too. It's like she needs to feel secure with you.
I've had her for 2 years and I thought she'd get over it but she still fears being picked up. She wails and tries to escape.
I've tried holding her for long periods of time but she dosn't change. She only trusts me if she knows she can't escape, then she becomes very loving.
It's like I have to trap her to make her feel secure.
Scardy-cat.
