About 5 yrs ago, I found a tortoise shell cat on top of a phone pole. It was in the middle of a storm. Fortunately, she came or fell down & was in a bush I could reach. She was soaked but immediately came to me. I have other cats & she never blended in with them. One cat chased her constantly but the others ignored her. For awhile the 2 cats played a bit but at some point she stopped playing & just hid from the other cat. She was always fine alone with me & eventually, the other cat stopped chasing her.
The problem is she never seems relaxed. The other cats ignore her but she still hides a lot. Hides under the couch, under the bed. Sometimes she seems completely normal & sits out with everyone but then she starts to hide again. She hides & won't come out to eat. It's like she has no will to fight to survive.
The current situation is she sits in a kitchen window all day. She barely sleeps. She will eat peacefully with everyone but then get back in the window. For awhile, she sat in the litter a lot. I try to take her to bed with me & she dozes off briefly. Her eyes don't completely close & she shakes. Then she wakes up & heads to the window. I'm not sure what to do. Her behavior is so strange.
The cat has always seemed miserable. She's only been at peace when she's hiding under the covers when I'm sleeping. Any ideas?
