I recently got a new cat, and I've had problem with it being extremely shy. I have had it for about 3 months, and she runs away if you even slightly move. She usually runs and hides under a bed. If she is sitting on the couch when I come down, sometimes I can reach far enough to slightly pet her head, but then she runs away. I'm not sure exactly how old she is, but definitely under a year. Also, we have another much older cat who is very affectionate. Is she just naturally very shy and afraid of everything? Or could she still be adjusting to the new house? Is there any way that I can teach her to be more friendly?
Also, an interesting thing is that if I sit in the bathroom on the floor, she will walk in and get very affectionate. She will start rolling all over the ground and gets very cuddly. Any suggestions?
