Congratulations on Mimi’s adoption. As mom to a very timid, former shelter cat I can tell you how rewarding it is to see them slowly come out of their shell and find that they have a safe and loving home again.
"Hiding" behind the post is so cute. I've had cats do something like that. They seem to think if they can't see you, then you can't see themI have seen Mimi walk in the room several times now. What a treat to see her whole body. One time when I came in the room, she couldn't decide if she should retreat to her hiding spot or sit under the cat tree on the blanket. She chose the cat tree, but hid her head behind the post.
I don’t know about them not liking singing. My former girl loved for me to sing to her and especially the song “Pretty Baby”. She would purr and knead as I sang.Next time she hides behind the post, try sitting down & tossing a small tempting toy 3 from her, then ignore her. I suggest the ones that look like feather torpedos. Hopefully she will play.
Also try no high pitched opera notes and keeping the volume low. I don’t think cats appreciate singing.
Ha. My singing is very low. I just keep singing her name over and over. Mimi, Mimi, Mimi. Like a chant. But...maybe she does not like it! But I think she does. She closes her eyes.Next time she hides behind the post, try sitting down & tossing a small tempting toy 3 from her, then ignore her. I suggest the ones that look like feather torpedos.

NOT THE EVIL VACUUM CLEANER MONSTER?!Well....it's been 7 weeks. And, I am sorry Mimi. I have done everything I can to keep your room quiet the way you like it. But, I can't take it anymore. I can't keep putting your needs above my own.
Today is the day. I am sorry.
I HAVE TO CLEAN YOUR ROOM!!!!
