I have a new cat, but no-one believes me. My new Mau Skylark is white silver, which really suits her ghosty personality. She floats around the house when I am home alone, but disappears whenever anyone comes over.
She has only been with me since last Sunday, and I am aware that she will take time to settle in. She plays with every animal in the house, except for my male Mau (who is still locked up) and my German Shepherds (who she hasn't met yet), and will play happily by herself in the living room while I sit in the bedroom, watching. She seems to be fascinated by my neutered male cat and my chihuahua and will follow them around the house. She will chase feather toys for me, but slips away if I try to pet her.
On the trip home she curled up on me to nap on the ferry ride, but prefers to sleep under the couch now. Quite often I find her in my bathtub.
It's not quite as bad as I make it sound, I just wish she would trust me as my other animals do. She will walk under my computer chair and onto the bed behind me, she just melts away if I pay any specific attention to her. I'm used to in your face, PET ME NOW cats.. my male Mau jumps up to be carted around the house.
