Hi everyone
My gouda is a tiny 8 week old kitten, 2 days ago we went to the vet for the first vaccine, the shot itself went by uneventfully. She didn't even twitch.
After that i also had to stop by the pet shop for food, in hindsight, it was a BAD call to take her with me.
Staying in the carrying cage too long (though it was less than 10 minutes) freaked her out, she peed in the cage and started yowling.
When we got home i gave her a bath, she had pee all over her. Needless to say, while she didn't went berserk- she didn't like the bath.
Since then she turned a lot more skittish, won't greet me when i come into the room i'm keeping her in (she used to come over with her tail held high and sit on my foot) , will run under the bed a lot and stay there, and won't come over for rubs and cuddles, though she did TONS of that before.
No doubt this is due to the not really nice day she had, but now how do i fix the situation?
I spend TONS of time in the room with her, moving slowly and letting her getting close without startling her.
Any more ideas?
-important to say, she doesn't growl/hiss or anything, will let me pick her up, and she plays with her toys in the room. She's not hostile or depressed, just turned skittish.
