I moved my elderly Mom in with me along with her 6yo female cat Olive. Olive is solidly a one-person pet. She adores my Mom, hates everyone else.its not fear b/c she'll eat treats from my hand but God forbid I try to pet her or otherwise get too close. The issue is that since the move 5 days ago Olive is MIA. I started her in the guest room with her own litter box, food and water (I have two young, friendly male cats and wanted her to feel she has a safe place). We've left the door partially open so she can hear us and leave the room when she's ready.
She's used the litter box but isn't eating and as far as I can tell not drinking either. She's in complete hiding and was only seen once when I looked behind the bed. She won't even come to my Mom.
What can we do? The lack of eating is worrying me after 4+ days. But I'm not sure what else to do? Keep the closed? Open?
