Hi,I'm new here. A couple of months ago we adopted 2 cats, both fixed. One is a approximatly 2 year old female cat, and is actually small for her age with thin fur.(Her belly is almost bare, and has a patch on the side missing. might have been from an illness she had before we got her.) Her name is Morgan. and the other is a 9 month old male named Dash,who is fiesty and curious, gets into everything, and after playing for a long while, will "crash" and fall asleep near somebody. Dash is very social with us(doesn't like being alone), and he and Morgan get along very well. They even groom,sleep, and wrestle with each other.
But Morgan isn't social with us at all. She mostly stays in my room during the day, napping. When she goes from my room and crosses the frountroom and kitchen to the laundry room(where the litterbox/food is), if we are in the frountroom, she will run like mad to get to the food/litterbox. she hates being held, and moves away from people. Only time she gets near us at all on her own is when we pour her some milk. When we pet her when she is in bed, she will start to purr, but then get up and move a bit away. she always walks around with her tail down. Is there anything we can do to make her less nervous? could she have a definency of some sort?
