Hi everyone!
So I recently adopted a young shy cat (my very first cat), and I have some questions about that.
Yesterday, when I first brought her, I opened the carrier, let her move around my apartment.
While I let her out, she did not really come out from the carrier, cautiously looking at me, so I decided to look somewhere else as if nothing is in my apartment, then during that time, she came out of the carrier and disappeared!!!
Since then, I did not even see her at all! When I went to bed, I was hoping her to use the litter box, eat food and something (I put everything in my apartment), but when I woke up this morning, no trace at all! I did not open the door or something that let her out, so she should be somewhere in my apartment,
but I am started to worry about that. I know she does that because she is scared, so I did not look for her in my apartment, giving her sometime to adjust. So now that I am away from my apartment (work), I am curious if she is going to come out and do something (like eating, using litter box and so on).
When I get back to my apartment after the work and if I don't see any trace, should I try to find her or leave her alone?
So I heard that she grew up with many other cats (10+) and owner mentioned that she was not really a cuddlier, affectionate, and so on. The owner also mentioned that he did not really hear her purring. Just pet her a little bit but because he has so many cats, he did not really spend too much time with her. So now that I have her and she is the only one in the house, I am also curious if her personality can change? As far as I saw her so far (Only when she was in the carrier), she was really quiet, and shy so I did not get to know her that well. Please help me about what I need to do!!!
