I have 3 lovely kitties, two have been with me and my hubby for nearly 4 months now. One of them has been with us nearly 8 months. They have really sweet dispostions and are very affectionate to me and hubby but when we have a couple of friends over they dissappear. Now, we aren't loud or anything but my question is how can I make my kitties feel more comfortable around guests and not so shy and scared. I would really like it if they would hang around but I certainly can't make them. It kinda makes me sad that maybe they were mistreated before they came to live with us. We don't have company everyday but maybe once every other week we have a couple of friends over from church or even my parents come and visit. So we aren't a rowdy bunch. I would just like them to feel comfortable and not scared. Anybody got any suggestions out there?
