Hello,
This is my first ever post on this site and my first forum post ever actually, so please bear with me!
I have a beautiful cat named Milky and she is 2 years old. I adopted her from a shelter about 7 months ago, where she lived with other cats and also dogs. When she got in my home, she was really scared about everything...problem that never really stopped. She is scared of anyone in the house but me, she only leaves my room at night when she knows everyone is asleep, and she gets stressed even around me sometimes. My guess is that she will never really change and maybe thats just her personality. She does not like any type of toy i buy her, she is immune to catnip and she does not cuddle at all. But let me get to the main problem. Yesterday i bought a new portable AC so i can use it in my room during summertime, because summer here is really harsh. I turned it on and Milky started meowing really loud and desperate, and it was visible that she was really scared. I noticed the same type of behaviour when i vaccum clean my room. I cannot let my cat outside my room during daytime or night without making sure every door is closed, because I fear that she will run away and never come back..that's why i came here to ask for help. What can I do to make my little kitty not scared about the new AC? When she is in the room and the machine is turned on, her desperate meows break my heart...I do not want to torture her, I just want to help her understand that the AC is harmless and she is safe in my room, like always. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Congrats on your first ever post on your first ever forum. And, BTW, your English is perfect.
