Hello. I just adopted a Reganmuffin cat who is 4y7m from Humane Society. She had been surrendered because the owner’s nephew was allergic to her. Based on her history, she had lived with her owner her whole life. She had been at the shelter for 6days and I brought her home yesterday. She was very sweet and loving at the shelter but now something has ticked her off. She doesn’t eat, drink, and rarely comes out to be petted. Out of nowhere she becomes aggressive and hisses and growls, and then hides again. I do have another cat but I have not introduced them yet because it is too soon. I am worried. I understand it’s soon but I am worried because she is not eating or going to the bathroom. Any similar stories to mine and how did you handle it? I understand she may be sensitive and miss her previous owner, I just want to make sure she eats and drinks water. So far she only likes catnip and hiding.
PS: I keep her in my room only. There is other people in the house too but they haven’t had contact with her yet
