I thought about posting this in the feral section because this is the only way to describe this cat. I ended up getting a 3-4 year old munchkin cat from a breeder. I have limited info about her except she would not have kittens. I suspect she has had limited human interaction in her life.
I have only had her at this point 24 hours but she refuses to come out of the cat bed, eat, drink or use the litterbox. Poor thing spits, hisses and is drooling like a feral in a trap. I get it takes time and right now she is overwhelmed.
I already have an appointment scheduled with the vet this coming week to have her checked over. The cat seems healthy but is underweight probably due to stress.
Has anyone dealt with a cat from a cattery before? This is a first for me. I am trying to figure out if she will end up coming out of her shell or if I am going to have a feral that is going to run and hide the rest of her life.
Right now I am just working on bribing her with treats and trying to touch her with a cat toy (she does bite).
