    Hello friends! A small update. Kitty is still hiding, but I was able to get her out to play! I'm very excited. However she is still hiding after 2 weeks. I feel like it may be time to make some changes... I'm just not sure what.

    The cat is NOT up there. My apologies for not making this clear. This was set up as a way for her to check out the house while in a position up and away. We do not leave our stove top unattended, and due to the fact that we have pets... It's locked while not in use.

    Thank you! It's good to hear that, because I am getting worried. It breaks my heart to see her curled up behind my shoes... That's no place for her :-( I did give her a blanket from my grandfather's house. I do hope that helped. She was very excited about the treats! (I just gave her one) once...

She was letting out some meows last night, I believe she was asking for some water. She came out for a little, and was on my bed,but when I came in... She ran back to her...

    Yes, it's my bedroom closet. The box is about six feet away from her water.. I'll move it to the other side of the room. I don't mind if she wants to sleep in the bedroom. I would imagine she will not want that because my fiance tosses and turns all night, and we have a dog that sleeps in the...

    Great advice, thanks! Kitty's name is Salem. She's a beautiful long haired black cat, big green eyes... I'm already in love! I'll definitely check that out! I didn't think she'd still be back there after a week... It breaks my heart.

    Well her water and litter box are outside the closet. Should I also keep her food out there? Yes, we cat proofed the house, and if she would like, she can go wherever she wants. We put blankets for her on top of the cabinets. Yes she is spayed.
