we got a new cat the night before last. she is 6 months old and her owner told me that she is normally very friendly, playful, and cuddly. i'm getting the complete opposite impression. she spent the first day hiding behind either the fridge or the couch. then she has spent almost all of yesterday and today hiding behind the entertainment center. for a while she would come out to walk around if we sat very still, but she hasn't done it in a while. she will come out to eat and drink but any time we look at her or come near her she just hisses and growls. she has come up to me once or twice acting like she wants to get pet, and i will stay still trying not to spook her. then she will rub her head against me like she wants to be pet and then randomly start hissing at me again. i do have another cat that i've let around her a couple times. she wants to get to know the new kitty but new kitty is PISSED and not warming up to any of us at all. i have no idea what to do. i don't want to have to tell the lady who gave her to me that she isn't working out but i dont know how long her absolutely hating it here is going to last. she won't let us get to know her or touch her or anything.
