We adopted an adult cat from a friend two weeks ago and since then she has been alternating between hiding under our bed and under the couch all day and comes out a bit at night while we're sleeping. I know that this is typical behavior for a cat in a new place and she is skittish because of having lived in a stressful situation with a dog previously.
What concerns me is that she is hardly eating or drinking at all. We've tried wet food and dry food and occasionally she'll eat. But, based on what I've seen, I would say she's only eaten about 4 times in the last 14 days. Likewise, she rarely uses her box (likely because she has nothing to pass) but I haven't found any evidence of her having accidents elsewhere in the apartment.
We have a very quiet apartment and have been very careful to let her do her thing and get used to us but it seems like her reclusive behavior is getting worse instead of better and I'm worried about her eating. Should we be concerned?
