Heyu(since she seems to not like the name trisha) has been for the most part very anti-social. When i first got her 8 months ago she was around 3 months old that someone just dropped off the APL., All brother and sisters that came in with her was taken she was the last one, and very tiny for her age(she still much smaller then what she should be) and she looked so lost and sad with just her eyes showing over the top of her litter box.
when i first got her home she would hide under the bed for almost 2 weeks before she started to come out. then would do the old something moved must go hide under the bed again thing,.i swear it was a month before she would stop running away and let me touch her. At that time i still staying with my father(trying to keep him company after the death of my mother) well, that took even longer before she would stop running and hiding from him. she finally stopped that, but she would always stay just out of reach if went to touch her. She does the same with my wife.
She is fine with me, follows me everywhere, always stays within a few feet of me i dont mind, this, but would like to see her not so scared or stand offish of other people, I have never had a kitty that was this scared of people before, i have had the cat that thought new people where something to play with, and the yea so what new people big deal types, but never one that was scared to death of new people,
anyway idea of how to help her? I am thinking she must have had a very bad 3 months before she came to live with me
