We brought our new family member Cleo home 5 days ago and she is a very nervous timid cat. This being said, she has gotten very comfortable around us but the noises, etc. still scare her from time to time. We also have a resident cat who is 5-6 years old. Cleo immediately went down into the basement when we brought her home but we have brought her upstairs once or twice. Both times we brought her up she would initially hide under the sofa but would come out for love. Anytime she gets scared or wants to hide, she climbs as high as she can. We have found her in our basement ceiling twice now. Her and our resident cat sometimes growl or hiss at each other briefly and then Cleo will run away. She will not come upstairs on her own at this point, although anytime we visit her in the basement she is full of love. How do we get her to come upstairs?
