I have two cats, they are sisters, and one of my cats is just a ball of anxiety most of the time, jumps at every little thing and hides especially from people. But she isn’t afraid of me and is super attached to me. The other seems to behave and cope normally.
anyway i was trying to finish putting my bedroom together, getting ready to finish adding furniture. It has more or less been just a huge clutter storage room for several years. The cats never really spent much time in there except when i sleep they would follow me and sleep in my bed.
I moved a Desk with my computer on it from my living room to my bedroom, and now nervous cat is freaking out. She cries nonstop for hours in my living room, refuses to come anywhere near my bedroom and will panic if you try to introduce her there (i got clawed to shreds, not in aggression just bc she got scared n tried scrambling out of my arms and her claws are long).
She hunches over on my couch ready to run in the living room everytime i see her, but will stop crying and let me pet her and roll over for attention and rub against me like normal, but the minute im in my bedroom she panics and the screaming begins. i think she thinks she cant follow me in my bedroom now for somereason she terrified of my bedroom?
i feel really bad because I didn’t know moving a single piece of furniture would cause her this much stress. Its been 2 days now and her behavior hasnt changed. She hasnt shown any inclination of even coming to the end of the hall to look near the bedroom.
I don’t know what to do. I really wanted my computer in my room, but should i move it back? For my cat?
