I am new to cat ownership, so I'm not really sure how to word that question!
So, Piper has been with us for 3 weeks now. She's never been skittish or nervous... she walked into my house like she owned the place the day she wandered up after living life on her own for what was clearly a pretty decent amount of time given the shape she was in.
Her favorite lounging spot when she wants to get away is underneath the guest bed, but she spends most of her time sprawled out in the middle of the floor despite my 6 and 4 year old human kids running around. She doesn't seem to seek out high places though. She doesn't get on the counters, couch, tables, or anything. It makes me hesitate to spend money on a cat tree for fear she won't use it. Is she still adjusting? Or do some cats just not care about being up high?
Also, if she is as young as the vet thinks she is (around 1 year old), I haven't found her to be very playful. It doesn't really matter if that's just her personality, but I don't know how common or uncommon it is. She doesn't seem to have very developed back lack muscles compared to other cats I've seen. Maybe she is still rebuilding herself? She was severely malnourished and infested with fleas/ticks. She was dewormed and is currently being treated for giardia. I am just curious to know what others think! Thanks!
